TEENS – Drugs addiction?

Question by ~?Rainbow Babe?~: TEENS – Drugs addiction?
More and more teenagers seem to be using/becoming addicted to drugs. Why?
I am doing a research project for my Sociology class and wondered if you could answer a few questions for me 🙂

If you are a teenager and use drugs, please answer these questions.
Or if you would like to tell about someone else too.

Names will be changed for my project
