because they make you feel good?
It might be because they have nothing else to turn to, or they feel that drugs make them feel good on the inside.
That varies widely. Many use drugs because they feel sad. Many do feel sad (or sadder) that they feel compelled to use drugs and due to the problems it creates. Some just like to do drugs.
You feel like your a better person and you have better things to do
It would depend on the drug asking when you take drugs can be very vague. Some my make you look aged, some make your body itch, and some make your brain feel like its getting bigger, some make your body feel numb, theres tons of different effects with each drug.

Probably for the same reason adults do: to feel better. Recreational drugs make you feel instantly better. They MAKE you happy, no matter how depressed and unhappy you are. They make you better than happy, actually. They make you feel AWESOME. They give you euphoria, the sensation that everything in the world is as beautiful and perfect and wonderful as it could ever be. The problem of course, is that it doesn't last. In a matter of hours, you feel awful again. Especially with harder drugs like cocaine, you feel 50 times worse than you did before. That's when you want more drugs. Drugs make you happy, without actually having to DO anything to change your life. Instead of making things better for yourself, you can choose artificial happiness with drugs. When you're a child, there isn't much you can do to change your life. You can't move, or leave your family, or get a job. You can't even drive. A lot of kids probably feel like they have no other way to escape.
Certain illicit drugs can make a person feel invincible.
They make you feel like you can fly! - hallucinations, addictions, anger, violence, extreme mood swings....and many more negative stuff
There are some food that depending on how there are ingested can make a person feel the effect of being high on drugs without being on drugs. Smoking a banana peel can give that effect; morning glory seeds even nutmeg can make someone feel high.
