Drinking - Smoking - Peer pressure
Drinking alcohol is mostly a social activity. It may also be for fun, or the thought of removing problems or so. It is also somewhat harmful to our health. The average age when youth first try alcohol is 11 years for boys and 13 years for girls. Some facts about drinking is that it may be a singular problem behavior for some, research suggests that for others it may be an expression of general adolescent turmoil that includes other problem behaviors and that these behaviors are linked to unconventionality, impulsiveness, and sensation seeking. Overall, it is a bad thing.
Smoking is simply addictive. The youth today engage in smoking because of peers, stress and other family related problems or maybe just curious. They think that it is good, but damn! It is so wrong. The effects of smoking are infinite. It makes you're teeth yellow; it causes bad breath and worse; it damages your lungs that's why smokers are prone to having lung cancer. There's no such thing as one cigarette butt or one puff. Once you tried to use one, who knows? You'll be using every single cigarette in the pack. If you're addicted to smoking, you just gotta quit. Picture your life without cigarettes. It'll help you when your cravings hit. To quit, you have to declare war on your smoking addiction. Stop smoking, start praying.
Peer pressure is when "friends" persuade you to doing something that you do not want to do. But maybe you want to do it, and you just don't have the courage to do it and your friends talk you into it. Peer Pressure can be broken down into two areas; good peer pressure and bad peer pressure. Bad peer pressure is when friends make you do something because they said so. You do have choice whether to do or not to. But because you are pressured of thinking that what may happen or what they'll think if you won't do what they say that's why you are forced to do things.
You have a CHOICE.. and it's up for you to get out of the bump and cross that road cleanly.
