Answer by Joshua B
Some may say that, but in reality, it is circumstantial. You may have 2 kids grow up in a poverty stricken neighborhood with a bad home life, but only one may abuse drugs. There are just too many factors to come up with the real reason of why some teenagers choose to abuse drugs.
Answer by Olivia
drug abuse has always been there (opium was a very fashionable drug in the last centuries) so you cant blame it on the parents (i think). anything that can change ur mood positively is addictive: drugs, alcohol, over the counter medical drugs so failed society and failed family can cause kids to turn to something to escape from reality.,.. its hard to give a yes no answer because most of it will be very subjective: like what ive experienced and seen as a teenager.. maybe do a list of pro and counter arguments.and then use statistics as proof.. like for example drug abuse by teenagers in comparison to divorce rate in teenager’s family – what is the correlation?
