In life, everyone has battles they must face, standards they must abide to, and life changing decisions they must make. Some people are able to cope with the stress that your lives present to us everyday, yet for others this anxiety overcomes them and dealing with the stress isn’t as easy. For many people, especially teenagers in today’s society, the only way out are drugs. For them, drugs are a harmless substance that takes them to a worry free world where everything is good. This place becomes better and better every time they go, and eventually becomes addicting. Teens become so addicted that nothing else in life matters. The increase of the severity of the consequences for teens who abuse drugs is vital. By making the rules about drugs harsher in the law, in school, and at home, teen drug abuse will decrease.
