I
think that one of the biggest concerns in society is the
large number of people that uses drugs to escape from problems.
Every day, it is more common to see how, especially teenagers,
use marihuana because they need to forget all about their
worries. Some of them start taking drugs because they feel
they don't receive the attention they need, because they
have family problems. Others frequently want to be accepted
and be part of a group or they consume drugs just for fun.
Another reason why this happens is that nowadays getting
drugs is so accessible that when teenagers go to discos
or concerts they are very used to seeing drugs and to seeing
how drug peddlers offer them to any boy or girl. Teenagers
feel so much peer pressure that they finally say: “Yes,
it won't hurt me.” But what they really don't know
is that consuming drugs is not only illegal but it is also
something you choose to consume that will make your problems
worse. |
