 Conclusion
To conclude, teen age is the age of dilemma.
He/she always gets in confusion of right and
wrong activities that is going on in their life.
People create or destroy themselves in this
time. This is the most important age of youth
which they must not waste by involving in abuse
substances. So youth themselves should be
careful and try to keep themselves far from
abuse substances as much as possible.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
