Drug use is becoming increasingly popular in today’s modern society whereas many as one out of three teenagers (reference) has been or are engaging in both legal and illegal drugs.
Drug use by teens has many negative implications such as mental health and addiction of substances through to school drop put and even death (reference)

It can seem uncool to turn down drugs and the youth may be perceived as a goody goody and pressured into using drugs until they face addiction. Education is the key in helping young people.

“All my friends were doing it and I wanted to look cool so I joined in”, stated teen Ashley in a real life scenario. This is a common theme and the issue most teens face in their lives.
