Top 5 Reasons Why Students Use Drugs?

• Stress
• Teens report the number-one reason for
  using drugs is to deal with the pressures and
  stress of school.
• Social Acceptance and/or Low Self-Esteem
• Teens say they use drugs to feel
  cool. Teens self-worth depends on the approval
  of others, and their desire for social acceptance
  can drive them to engage in destructive
  behaviors, even if they know it could harm them.
  Teens use drugs to feel better about
  themselves. Teens who have low self-esteem are
  more likely to seek acceptance from the wrong
  crowd by using drugs.

• Self-Medication
• The teen years are rough, and many
  teens who are unhappy dont know how to find a
  healthy outlet for their frustration. These pent
  up emotions can take an emotional toll and can
  even lead to depression or anxiety.
• Misinformation
• Teens dont perceive any major risk
  with trying drugs once or twice? While abuse of
  serious drugs is steadily declining among teens,
  their intentional abuse of prescription and
  over-the-counter medications remains a serious
  concern. Many teens, mistakenly believe that its
  safer to abuse a prescription drug than it is to
  use illegal drugs.
• Easy Access
• One reason teens use drugs is simply
  because theyre easy to get. Teens say that
  prescription drugs are easier to get than illegal
  drugs.
