Teenagers are the people that are in the adolescence. Adolescence is a period of the life of changes and discovery.
Adolescence

A drug is any substance, solid, liquid or gas, that brings about physical and/or psychological changes. The drugs of most concern in the community are those that affect the central nervous system. They act on the brain and can change the way a person thinks, feels or behaves.

Laws and regulations decide if some drug is:
• Legal drugs
• Illegal drugs
And control the availability, quality and price of the "legal" drugs.

Because they are illegal, there are no price or quality controls on the illicit drugs such as heroin and ecstasy. Various batches of an illegally manufactured drug may have different mixtures of the drug and additives such as poisons, caffeine or even talcum powder.

• Biology. The genes that people are born with in combination with environmental influences account for about half of their addiction vulnerability.
• Environment. A person's environment includes many different influences from family and friends to socioeconomic status and quality of life in general.
• Development. Although taking drugs at any age can lead to addiction, the earlier that drug use begins, the more likely it is to progress to more serious abuse. And because adolescents' brains are still developing in the areas that govern decision making, judgment, and self-control, they are especially prone to risk-taking behaviors, including trying drugs of abuse.

Characteristics of a drug addicted
![Page 39: Drugs and teens](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103013/5456e473af7959a8128b53c2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
A person's physical characteristics, such as height, weight and gender also influence how a drug affects them.
A person that became a drug addicted difficultly can leave drugs.
Depressantes affect concentration and coordination and can cause unconsciousness, vomiting and even death.
Stimulants can cause anxiety, panic, seizures, headaches, stomach cramps, aggression and paranoia.
Some effects of hallucinogens include dilation of pupils, loss of appetite, increased activity, talking or laughing, emotional and psychological euphoria and wellbeing, jaw clenching, sweating, panic, paranoia, loss of contact with reality, irrational or bizarre behavior, stomach cramps and nausea.
Of course a teen that is a drug addicted will have problems in school, with the family, with the friends, with the development of the body and will possibly die.
