What are the reasons of teenagers in using prohibited drugs?

Teenagers are turning to prescription drugs because they are legal and available in almost every household. Alcohol is used less because it is noticeable to anyone they come in contact with throughout the day. A Vicodin from Mom or Grandpa's Medicine cabinet will give a similar buzz with out the smell or hangover. Teenagers use prohibited drugs to escape the pressures of school, puberty and home life. In addition it take away your ambitions and you feel like a more social individual. While this may work for a few months it will where off. What goes up must come down. And the likelihood is you will have to use more and stronger drugs to get high.
