Answer:

Teenagers are the most easily influenced by risk behavior. And if a teener is "afflicted" with just one like Drugs, the influence could be similar to a virus that could infect a lot more teeners. They are the most curious type at their sensitive age.

If a teenager became known for being regular user, the stigma is already there. Even the word addict could take a hold on the person, even if he she is not an addict. However, worst it would be if he she is an addicted teenager. Would the teener take it with just a shrug of the shoulder? He she may, but the impact is thrown to the parents.

A young girl getting pregnant at such young age is also impacted into the circle in the society she belonged. Again, the parents took fhe cudgel for the early pregnancy. Sometimes teenagers influenced one another believing it is okay to do so. But the risk cannot be just taken aside. Sexually transmitted diseases could take its toll in early sexual behavior. Again, the parents are not free from being affected.

Smoking can be addicting, too, due to the nicotine content of tobacco. Early exposure to nicotine is a health- risk, especially if the teener is pregnant. Or the teeners can be exposed as second hand smoker which is risky for one's health. If the teener smoked, her environment is at risk, too, and the child she carries.

And if a teenager is addicted to drugs, their dietary health is also at risk. A drug user does not give importance to diet. Even their lifestyle is not properly checked.
