The tendency towards drug addiction is based on societal factors that differ in their causes and effects on adolescent youth groups than on older people.
Adolescent drug addiction is often driven by peer pressure, identity exploration, and social media influence. In contrast, older individuals may turn to drugs due to chronic stress, isolation, or mental health issues. Youth are more influenced by group dynamics and risk-taking behavior, making them more vulnerable to early addiction. Societal acceptance, availability of substances, and lack of support systems worsen these trends. Understanding these age-specific factors is key to developing targeted prevention and intervention strategies.
Totally agree, Ansam. Societal factors hit adolescents differently. Peer pressure, identity struggles, and media influence play a huge role. Unlike older adults, it's less about stress and more about fitting in or escaping confusion. The causes and effects definitely vary across age groups.
Yes, I agree with this statement. The tendency toward drug addiction is indeed influenced by societal factors, and these factors often have different causes and effects depending on the age group.
Not sure. The adolescents are more visible than adults. Poverty could be a strong factor stimulating addiction, no matter the age. The previous generations used to drink alcohol, the present people cannot have cheap alcohol, but drugs. There is a dark intention behind this situation; to see here only societal factors is not enough.
