Teens and Drugs
Why do teens use drugs?
1. Curiosity. Puberty(青春期)is the most important stage for the teens to form their world view and outlook on life. Childishness and curiosity are the characteristics of this period. People in the period want to try anything new in order to fulfill their strong desire for the inaccessible. Meanwhile, for lack of necessary scientific knowledge and the faculty to make a differentiation between right and wrong, an uncontrollable situation is always foreseeable when teens indulge themselves in this self-abandoned behavior.
2. Influence of domestic environment. Domestic education and the conduct of the parents have played an important role in the period when the teens are facing confusion about their future as well as the challenges and temptation from the outside world. Well-guided domestic environment ensures the teens of healthy development for their body and mind while the opposite can even lead to juvenile delinquency(青少年犯罪). Therefore, parents, as a child’s first teachers, have to take on the responsibility to provide the teens with a model leading to the right choice. A girl named Dotty was addicted to cocaine when she was twelve years old and had to become a fancy woman two years later so as to earn enough money to buy the drugs — as well as for the mother with 10-year drug abuse history.
3. Reckless make-friends. It is very significant for a person to make friends in his whole life. So you have to make friends carefully. According to the situation of the teen druggers, there are a majority of teenagers taking drugs because of incautious make-friends. A boy named Danny, had ever received the education of anti-drug, and always cautioned his friends against drug. But in 2004, he made friends with a person who had ever taken drugs. He decided to experiment after his friend induced that drugs could release you from pain and refresh yourself. After that, he can not control himself, joining in the party of druggers. According to a survey in some country, there are 76.9% of teen drug addicts because of friends’ temptation.
4. Mental emptiness. Teenagers are immature both in physical and mental. They can be easily influenced by the outside world. Teenagers face the stress of entering a higher school, failing love, etc. They want to find something exciting to help them escape from those boring things. Drugs can make people excited for a short time and escape from real-life temporarily. Accordingly, those teenagers take drugs as the tool of getting away from annoyance. A millionaire Blues, for the sake of excitement and fashion, had been addicted to drugs. Now he is penniless. A survey on 116 juvenile druggers shows that there are 40% of druggers falling into the habit because of boredom and longing for excitement and comfort.
Where do teens get drugs?
Teen drug use is very big in today’s world and there are many ways that teens have access to these drugs. According to the estimate, 13. 6 million Americans were current users of illicit drugs in 2004. And that number hasn’t really changed at all since then. Usually in the school area, there are kids that bring drugs to school and try to sell them secretly. Since most schools don’t really check kids’ pockets and bags, it is easy for them to do business.
There are also a lot of areas where drug dealers hang out and when teens find out those areas they are there buying all kinds of drugs. Some drug dealers only sell at certain times and they know good spots. It’s like a real job to them; they are making a lot of money off these teens who buy drugs. People who study these drugs sometimes make their own drugs by growing or cooking drugs. They even do it in their own room. But teens are most likely to get drugs from friends or kids at school who are trying to make money.
What’s the effects of drugs on teens?
Every drug comes with its own effect. Overall, most illegal drugs can cause side effects such as confusion and panic attacks. Other side effects are permanent damage to the kidneys, liver and the heart. Illegal drugs can also result in an increased heart rate, and difficulty in thinking and problem solving.
Cigarettes aren’t always viewed as a drug because they are used at a daily basis by many teens and adults. Cigarettes contain nicotine which is why the smell of cigarettes is always on your clothes and can also result in smelly breath and hair. Cigarettes can also give you heart disease as well as cancer and emphysema(肺气肿).
What can parents do?
When parents find out that their kids are taking drugs they might not know how to approach the matter. If you have a feeling your kid is using drugs, you should emphasize that drugs are wrong and the consequences are severe. You must stress the fact that you can die, you can become psychotic and you could lose everybody’s respect for you. Parents should get to know their teens’ friends and what kind of personalities they have. Don’t make it too obvious that you are trying to spy on them; just find out what kind of crowd your teen hangs out with. If your teen is going out too late you should really consider that a factor that they could be using drugs. So find out where they are going, who they are going with and when they must be home. You must set strict rules for them so they cannot feel they can do anything they want. If you think that your children are doing drugs but do not know how to confirm that they are, here are a couple of signs to look for:
Angry or violent behavior
Sleeping more than normal
Very irritable(Similar to the 1 st sign)
If his/her friends act like this also
Signs of depression(Maybe even thoughts of suicide)
Those are several signs and if you notice any of them, address your teen and beat around the bush until you can ask them straight up if they are using drugs. If it becomes really serious and you cannot get your teen to stop using drugs, get them to a health or drug facility immediately for help to prevent them from continuing to use drugs.
In conclusion, teens find ways to get drugs but parents need to put their foot down and find out if their teen is taking drugs. If they aren’t stopped, the after-effects could be life-changing for both the teen and parents.
In what situation is it dangerous for a teen to indulge himself in fulfilling his strong desire for the inaccessible?
选项
A、He is forming his world view.
B、He is full of curiosity.
C、He is being the period of adolescence.
D、He lacks necessary knowledge.
答案
D
解析
文中说“由于缺乏必要的科学知识和辨别是非的能力,当青少年沉迷在自己的这一自暴自弃的行为中时,一种无法控制的局面可想而知。”这里的自暴自弃的行为就是上面提到的满足其对未涉足领域的强烈欲望的行为,“后果可想而知”言外之意就是说很危险,故[D]项正确。其他三项均是对青春期及其特点的描述,并非所有处于青春期的孩子满足其对未涉足领域强烈欲望的行为都很危险,故错误。
