It's not a secret that the most vulnerable category of people who use illegal drugs and alcohol are teens. Drinking alcohol and taking drugs leads to addiction and further destruction of your health and future well-being. The consequences can be very diverse, such as a heart attack, a stroke, and in some cases death. Teens tend to use alcohol and drugs at various events, such as friends' birthdays, where some try to keep up with their peers and want to look cool. But in the end, they look ridiculous. If you want to break out of this vicious circle, ask for help, do not hesitate, change your life for the better.
If someone is at risk due to excessive use of alcohol or taking drugs,call 000 immediately. Save a life. |
