Summary: Addiction and Violence in Teenager.
Adolescence is the stage between childhood and adulthood which are considered the
development epoch. Its the stage in life where animals attain their physical adulthood
qualities. In humans, the cognitive and physical changes occur during 11 to 14 in female
and 13 to 16 in males. In is in this ages that adolescents are more to falling in drugs by
different factors, which are beyond their faults.The use and abuse of potential
dangerous substances are mostly consumed by males than females. The document
potentially dictates that often the role, rather its be female or male has a rather large
impact on the development of consumption of drugs. It is rather widely known that the
consumption of drugs begins in their adolescents and can potentially become
dangerous to their health as they become addictive to the substance and not only
alternating their daily lifestyle but the way they think. The review of the investigation also
centers on the culture, the geographic location that leads teenager to become addictive
to drugs. Bestowing the right to a national survey made in the United States where the
central objective was to find the difference in consumption in both genders states that
men are more prone to use every type of drugs that are available in the worlds, whether
it is alcohol, heroine, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription
stimulants, and pain relievers. Women are more affected by the dose of drugs than
males and that why the same levels of dose are different than men.
The use of substance have a great impact on the violence in every stage of adult, where
it is child abuse, adolescent abuse or adult abuse, whether it is female or male.

the disposition of substances and there is a high modification in their personality and

presented in different stages, national to international. Its affect as stated above both
genders of the human race and it affects principally children and adolescents from every
age in every little location in Mexico. The different studies shows that this problems is
every changing and that the frequency in teenagers is increasing as the ages goes up.
Whether the problems is about alcohol, legal drugs or illegal drugs it goes increasing in
both stages of life, in adolescents and adults. The Mexican poll found that the most
consumption of alcohol in women is after 4 cups and in men is 5. This mostly occurs in
festive days, like Christmas, New YearsEtc. In the use of illicit drugs is has been
consume by the larger part of the population in Mexico by the polls given between the
years 2008 to 2011. In Mexico more than 27 % of the population between the ages 25
and 65 are active smokers. More than 30% in men and 26.4 were active smokers and
more than the half of the population has never smoke in their lives. So more likely the
rate in population in the consumption of drugs are becoming alarming as the years go
by and it begins since childhood which in itself is more alarming.
The use of drugs goes hand in hand with violence by the psychological changes the
person undergoes under the substances. It hasnt been longs since child abuse has had
a shine of light on the subject because they are been taken as equal as any other
person in age. It is usually hears that the when an adult is violent everywhere, has most
like been abuse since his childhood age, whether sexual or physical. A change is need
but it most likely wont be a great breakthrough, but there is nothing wrong in hoping for
a change.
