1) Peer pressure
    - pressure by their own friends
2) Family Struggles
     - family member died, or       influence by a family member
3) Stress
      - academic, family, social life
4) Weight Loss
      - common for females to use drugs to loose weight fast
5) Curiosity
       - curious as to what is feels like]]> 2018-06-14 18:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267261387 sophia_270037 https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267262601 You may feel as if the only way to keep your friends, or to stay in the popular group, is to do what they say and use the drugs, but the popular way isn't always the right way. Why throw your life away like them?]]> 2018-06-14 18:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267262601 sophia_270037 https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267263144 In some instances, teens get their drugs from a source in their family. Whether it be the father, mother, or older sibling. Or, the teen may be dealing with a death and feels like the only way to stop the grief is through drugs. In this case, the teenager should consider counseling or therapy.]]> 2018-06-14 18:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267263144 sophia_270037 https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267263578 Drugs are often used to relieve stress. However stress can and should be relieved in other ways like engaging physical activity. This option is better than hurting your body through drugs.]]> 2018-06-14 18:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267263578 sophia_270037 https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267264266 Many girls in the age in their life, do not feel comfortable with how they look. They go to drugs as a quick option for weight loss. But they don't need to do it that way! There are healthy options such as a balanced diet that is approved by doctors that should be done over drugs.]]> 2018-06-14 19:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267264266 sophia_270037 https://padlet.com/sophia_270037/cihb5nm1f07p/wish/267264650 A big part is the question that comes into these teenager's minds.
