3. Why do some adolescents start taking drugs? How can this be avoided?

Solution:

Adolescents begin using drugs because they have physiological and psychological effects on our bodies. There are several factors that contribute to addiction.:

1. Peer pressure

2. Feeling of Betterment

3. Experimentation

4. Depression

These can be avoided by counseling. Say ‘NO’ to any person forcing drugs on you and also don’t taking too much of pressure from anyone for anything.
