There are a number of reasons for teen drug use. One common reason is rebellion: some young people who feel their parents are too strict want to break away and do something that just feels like fun, even if it will get them in trouble. Another reason is peer pressure: some young people are encouraged by their friends (or by people they want to impress) to try drugs, and they are afraid or unwilling to say no. One other factor is that some teens have seen their parents use drugs and it seems "normal" to them, so they try it too.
