 There are many different reasons why people are addicted to drugs or any other similar substance.

Young people like me use drugs because of curiosity, peer pressure, stressed, finance problem,
for pleasure and when depressed. I know that life is not easy but taking drugs is not the solution
for it. We should stay away from drugs because drugs affect our health, lead to academic failure,
and jeopardizes our safety.

Abusing the use of drugs to feel good, ease stress, or avoid reality leads to addiction. Drug addiction is
life-threatening. Drug addiction has severe consequences. Some of the signs include anxiety, paranoia,
increased heart rate, and red eyes. You will be intoxicated and unable to display proper coordination and
have difficulty in remembering things. A person who is addicted cannot resist using them and unable to
function correctly without ingesting them. It causes damage to the brain, their personal and professional
relationships. It affects mental cognition; they are unable to make proper decisions, cannot retain
information, and make poor judgments.
