Teenagers, alcohol and drugs (by Nicole)

Nowadays, most teenagers in Argentina go with friends to discos to dance and have fun. In many places, they sell alcohol to teenagers under 18, and when they don't, these teenagers go to any house to drink something before going to dance or anywhere. They do it to have fun and laugh a while s;ome others do it to forget their personal problems. The thing is to drink properly and controlled so that you know what you are drinking and are aware of what you do. 

On the other hand, we have the teenagers that consume drugs. A few do it to have fun in a different way, but mostly it is related to their own problems. They usually start buying drugs at the age of 16-18. They know where to buy them because the friends consume drug too. The main problem is that they like it and they get addicted to it. They consume cheap and easy-to-find drugs. 

The best thing you can do if you know someone or a friend who is being in this situation, is to help him think about the future physical and socials problems and if after trying this you don't see any change, try with professional help.
