Raging hormones, a need to rebel, and peer pressure in youth's daily life are some of most important factors. Considering all this teens have a huge potential for making mistakes that could affect the rest of their lives.

Parents play important role in preventing these mistakes, they have to help their children in making good choices by understanding the daily pressures children deal with.

Transition process to adulthood is highly sensitive period for a human being with many setbacks that accompany it. That's why many teen try drugs, as a solution for their daily problems, to run away from them.
