Teens may know the dangers of using drugs but still continue to use them or try them for the first time. To rebel against their parents or teachers. Because they feel shy or inadequate and believe drugs will make them stronger and able to handle situations better. Because they are afraid to face their personal, school, or money problems. Because they are bored and believe drugs will put some excitement in their lives.
Some people have the disease of addiction and can t stop using without help, even if they want to.
If you think that you have a problem with drugs get help. Call your doctor or your school nurse or counselor and ask for help. The information contained in this web site is provided for informational use only and shall not be construed to be individualized medical advice. Back to my home page.
