Some may say that, but in reality, it is circumstantial. You may have 2 kids grow up in a poverty stricken neighborhood with a bad home life, but only one may abuse drugs. There are just too many factors to come up with the real reason of why some teenagers choose to abuse drugs.

drug abuse has always been there (opium was a very fashionable drug in the last centuries) so you cant blame it on the parents (i think). anything that can change ur mood positively is addictive: drugs, alcohol, over the counter medical drugs so failed society and failed family can cause kids to turn to something to escape from reality.,.. its hard to give a yes no answer because most of it will be very subjective: like what ive experienced and seen as a teenager.. maybe do a list of pro and counter arguments.and then use statistics as proof.. like for example drug abuse by teenagers in comparison to divorce rate in teenager’s family – what is the correlation?
Peer pressure…that trumps it all.
…by failed teenagers
i think it can be either a result of a failed family, or a failed “environment” sort of speak (i shall elaborate).
A failed family: Whether its dysfunction or abuse, any certain type of wrong treatment or “environment” can certainly lead a teen to drugs, but more so, like that one poster said, is really a failed “environment”–
–A failed “environment”-the wrong “crowd.” Bad friends who influence a vulnerable enough of a person. They know that person is usually suffering, so they tell that person all the “good feelings” drugs provide, and so that person is led into a life that is very hard to get out of, if they’re even lucky enough to have the will power to get out of it. But, a failed “environment” can also be just the kind of community one is brought up in. Whether it’s living in a family that abuses drugs, or living in an impoverished city where drugs dominate the streets, that’s how i think a failed “environment” affects someone.
