Question

Why adolescents are more prone to substance abuse?

Answer 1

hey your answer..

Anyone can become addicted at any time in their lives, but the adolescent period is perhaps the most dangerous time in a person’s life. However, it’s teens who are the most vulnerable, not only to social pressure to experiment with addictive substances, but also more vulnerable to the damage those substances can cause. Their minds and bodies are still developing, so teen drug use can progress into addiction faster than in adults. Also because of this development period, addiction can wreak more havoc on the teen brain (which becomes fully developed around 25 years of age), as well as on the adolescent body.

hope it helps.......

Answer 2

adolescent are more prone to abuse as there's peer pressure on them and more over there ego issue that they are not inferior of anybody
