Substance Abuse

Substance Abuse 

What is substance abuse?

     Substance abuse is the use of drugs and alcohol irresponsibility. This is becoming more and more common between kids my age, teens. These kids are using these things more and more often because they enjoy the way these things make them feel.These people have a problem with these drugs and create problems with there hobbies.In 2014 about 22.5 million Americans from the ages 12 and up reported needing help with their substance abuse. There are some recovery centers where people are being helped with their addictions. Many people attend rehab and get help and come out with a better life. The inspiring words of those they love also help them because they realize how their addiction/substance abuse is affecting their relationship with them. Schools are also engaging in trying to promote the effects of drugs and alcohol to try and minimize the amount of kids trying these things and getting ADDICTED.

Reflection: 

     I honestly think this is a big issue going on in the world and it keeps growing within teens. More and more younger people are being introduced to these drugs and they get addicted at a young age. We need to help these children and the adults out and minimize the amount of a certain substance people have access to.
