The frightening part about teenage alcoholism and teenage drug abuse, is how young the kids today are that are becoming addicted. Seeing kids of 11-13 in rehab centers being treated for addiction is not unusual
Your teenage years are amongst your most difficult and confusing because you're trying to understand yourself and how you fit into the world. Dealing with hormones, trying to impress the opposite sex , and coping with the general pressures that school life brings, makes things pretty tough.
Plus teenagers today are being exposed to so much more from a far younger age through television and the media. Drugs, alcohol and sex are not subjects that are regarded as out of bounds at that age in the way that they used to be 10-15 years ago.
And with the usual experimentation that happens at that age anyway, you now have kids of 10 trying drugs and alcohol. The problem is that at that age, you just don't have the maturity to deal with that and so it will create problems.
"It was too much, my life. I was used to too much. And then all of a sudden, it was not enough. So I tried taking too much, and you know what happened.".
Billions of people are affected by substance abuse disorder all over the world - not all of them may be the ones abusing the substances, but having loved ones who suffer from substance abuse disorder would most certainly hit them in the ensuing crossfire. More often than not, it is the people who love them that bear the brunt of a substance abuser's violent mood swings. It is they who are affected by the financial woes that are caused by the mis-allocated funds caused by their need to feed their addiction.
But I think one of the biggest reasons today for the escalating problem of teenage alcoholism, and especially teenage drug addiction, is the availability of alcohol and drugs. If you look especially at the kinds of drugs readily and easily available on the streets today, heroin and amphetamines being two of the worst, it doesn't take long for kids to get addicted. And these are drugs that weren't available as easily 15-20 years ago.
Substance abuse may sound cool. It may mean that certain people may hang out with you. It may even mean that you wouldn't have to deal with the bad things that are happening in your life. But it will never be safe, and it will never be fair - not for you, and not to those who love you.
