People who are addicted to drugs have many reasons behind what starts their addiction. Family situations, peer pressure, and abuse are just a few causes of drug addictions. Society can also effect drug usage. Key questions that must be answered are what makes people want to do drugs, what situations influence drug usage, and how a society can increase an individual’s susceptibility to drug abuse. A first step to solving the national drug problem is addressing these questions.

Courtney and Rachel,
ReplyDeleteThere are many reasons why a person may start using a drug. A few years back a survey was given to our students, and it was found that stress was the biggest reason why they chose to use drugs. This is what gave the schools more reason to have a health class in place that taught how to manage one's stress.
