Graphic by Evelio A.(M)
The most common addictions in teens are alcohol and tobacco and they use them in cigars and beer.
Unusual addictions:
Some unusual addictions are forbidden drugs, like cocaine, marijuana, etc.
There are others addictions that are common in kids and teenagers, one of them is the addiction to play videogames, it is when you start playing a videogame and you cant quit playing it, when you feel that you are addicted to videogames, you need to do something about it right away, also another addiction that is similar with this is like using the computer all day, or watching television all day and cant stop watching it.
Another unusual addiction that I heard about is to chew gum, there are persons who cant stop chewing gum, and they do this all day, the most majority of them do it because they feel very nervous, tense, stressed, pressured, and they chew gum to calm down.
How do teens get addicted?
There are many forms in which teens can get addictions, one of the most common ways of getting addicted is by pressure form your friends,
Some persons are also willing to do that because of the things their friends say, for example they say that you feel very good, but when you get a taste of it every time you need it more and more every day, and you fell good when you consume it, but when you try to stop it you wont make it, and you will feel very bad when you don’t use it, every minute you don’t use it you will feel worst.
Peer pressure:
peer pressure happens a lot when you are with friends they tell you that drugs won’t harm you, also when you are somewhere and all of the people are taking drugs, you feel like you are not together or apart from the group; this is the usual first step that you take when you are taking drugs.
What makes students willing to do something they know is bad?
Some times when you’re a student in a school there is also peer pressure, and you want to do things to gain the attention of other persons and be more well known you do things that you know that are bad and you know that you will get some consequences when you do this you think you will be better but in the end you will be losing.
What to do when a friend gets addicted:
When a friend is addicted with something what I think you should do is go with an expert in this topic and talk about it and solve this friend’s problem.
How to know you are addicted?
You may know that you are addicted to something when you realize you are doing something too much and can’t stop doing it, you may also be told by a friend or a person that you know that you are addicted and need help.
