There are a handful of reasons for this. Children and teens need guidance. They are still learning and so good things have to be reinforced a number of times so the message will sink into their minds. Then there is the matter of puberty and the possibility of drugs somehow interfering with brain and body development. The teen years are often when peer pressure is the strongest, so you have to provide a stronger message to do the right thing as opposed to their peers who suggest or even demand the wrong things. The teen years are also the time in which lifelong habits are set. The older someone gets, the harder it is to develop healthy habits.
