They seek attention, they never got. Their parents taught them the only way they look at them is when they make something stupid.

As a teen, I find the above answer kind've ignorant. I'm good friends with a former drug user, and he came from an excellent family. Peer pressure, as underestimated as it may be, does play a large role in the reason teens begin using.

It's not always the parent's failure for the choices their child makes.

I need a list of sins that apply to teens?

There are so many sins that apply to teens that you couldn't list them all if you lived a hundred years. but some of the ones i think are very bad are: having sex outside of marriage (and that goes for some adults too.), using The Lord's name in vain, disobeying your parents, lying, and using drugs and alcohol. Now, i know that the Bible probably doesn't say "Don't use drugs and alchol." the the Bible does say that your body is a temple, and that you should respect it. in my opinion, using drugs and alcohol hurts your body, and that goes against what the Bible says.

How many teens die from drug overdose a year?

Many people have died from the use of drug abuse. I know from true experience that many teenagers die because they think they will be alright from the first use and then they can get addicted but that wont effect them but truthfully it will. Many teens die from the use of drugs.aka TONS OF PEOPLE so....don't do drugs theyre bad 4 u....soz alcohal (spell check???)I think the girl above was trying to say that many TEENS do die from drugs abuse it is very common, I myself am a teen I am 15 years old and I did drugs at the age of 8 to the age of 12, I wasn't a teen yet but I was close to it, I did it for personal reasons because of my child hood. BUT that's not my point, Thousands maybe millions of teens die everyday from drug abuse, it is not a good thing to do at all, do not ever try drugs because they are addicting and will harm your body in many ways you never thought possible.Actually, its about 3.8 teens die from drugs every day. Only off by about 1,999,996 dead people. Hey, I am writing a paper on teen drug use, can anyone find the # of teens hospitalized per year due to drug use?


What are bad things teens do?

This is a rather vague question as teens have been known to do about all the same bad things adults do. However, not all of them do such things. For instance, some teens do drugs or drink. Some have sex. Some shoplift. Some go for joyrides in other people's cars. Some do dangerous stunts or have dangerous "games". A few kill people. Some also die at that age, which is also a bad thing. The point is, teens are a cross-section of the general public and do things that are representative of greater society.
