"Illegal drug use among teenagers is declining. However, the abuse of prescription drugs, especially pain relievers is increasing. Many teenagers assume that prescription drugs are safe, when in fact they are highly addictive and can cause severe side effects.
The following are some statistics regarding teenage drug abuse:
Approximately 15 percent of 10th and 12th graders have used amphetamines. In a study at San Francisco General Hospital, 25 percent of seizures were found to be caused by amphetamine use. An estimated 1.8 million (0.8 percent) of youth age twelve and older are current users of cocaine. . . . . . "

Depends on where they are and wat their area is like . eg. If he/she lives around or lime with other friends that uses cocaine. Then they would use it. If they live in a place where there is no or hardly can buy or find coicaine , then less teens would us cocaine.

i dont no like 100000 this world is collapsing because of them I don't know how many but it an alarming amount. Many of the young people that are taking drugs now are getting them from their parents medicine cabinets. Adults are on medication for things that they never were before. Teenagers are finding a ready supply of drugs right at home.
I don't know the exact number, but many teenagers, and even children and adults, stock up on their drugs right from the medicine cabinet. They can use these prescription drugs, and non-prescription drugs for suicide, etc.
