Teenagers are often exposed to drugs and alcohol through peer pressure, parental examples, and media influences. A study found that over 50% of 12th graders had used alcohol and nearly 25% had used illicit drugs in the past year. Teens are particularly susceptible to peer pressure as their brains prioritize rewards over risks. Parents who use drugs or drink can negatively influence teens through their example. Media frequently portrays substance use in a positive light without consequences, which teens may emulate. However, various treatment options exist to help teens struggling with addiction.
