Many people believe that substance abuse comes from "gateway drugs" and peer pressure. However, substance abuse has been proven to be attributed to character traits that some people have, as well as genetics, and the environment that people come from. People who are easily convinced by others, type B personalities, and other traits make people more susceptible to substance abuse, especially in combination with parents who are frequent substance abusers, especially in the presence of their children, and also the environment that people come from. People are molded by the environment they come from, and by what their parents show them as acceptable behavior.
