Bad habits of adolescents

The harmful habits of youth, smoking, alcohol, drug addiction have become so firmly established in the life of a modern teenager that it is becoming increasingly difficult and difficult to struggle with them every year. The World Health Organization is actively fighting smokers and drug addicts, some countries have passed laws on the punishment of smokers, introduced bans on smoking in public places, and most importantly introduced an age restriction. All this works in our country, only prohibitions, as we know, only inflame interest and craving for bad habits.

To date, statistics are such that the percentage of adult smokers is regularly falling, but the percentage of boys and girls who have bad habits of adolescents has increased significantly in recent times. And the number of girls who use tobacco, has already become equal to that of young men.

There is much talk about the dangers of smoking, so many that no one pays any attention, and teenagers often do not understand the seriousness of the consequences of smoking. Particularly harmful is smoking in the young, still fragile body of adolescent children. In our country, smoking begins already with 8-9 years, at this age is a great chance to become an avid smoker in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent smoking as early as possible and it is possible to explain to children how harmful habits of adolescents affect their body, and what consequences this can lead to.

Alcoholism is another scourge of modern youth, bad habits of adolescents. Like smoking, alcohol consumption begins from the early school age, when boys begin to try alcoholic beverages, and at a later age (13-14 years) they begin to develop dependence. Girls in this matter join a little later, beginning with adolescence. At this time among teenagers, so-called deviant behavior is common , they tend to imitate adult behavior. And since the culture of our society remains at a low level, then from the younger generation there is nothing good to wait.

Especially harmful alcohol affects the muscular system, cardiovascular, and of course, the nervous. Constantly entering alcohol in the body destroys nerve cells, causing inhibition, reducing memory, attention and ultimately leading to the degradation of the individual. And also doctors say that regular use of alcohol negatively affects the potency, which with age can lead to sexual failure and infertility. The same applies to the fair sex, using alcohol and tobacco, they are destroying the birth of eggs in the ovaries, which are potentially their children. Thus, the girls, not suspecting this, begin to kill their children, before they have time to think about them. In addition, the aforementioned harmful habits of adolescents are often associated with the early pregnancy of adolescent girls, which is also a major social problem.

Addiction is one of the most dangerous harmful habits that are common among young people, causing the destruction of the human body and the destruction of his personality. According to statistics among Russian youth, 70% of respondents at least once tried drugs. Drugs, like alcohol, cause addiction, which develops much faster and has a negative effect on all organs. Addiction is a companion of many diseases, such as hepatitis or AIDS.

The social consequences of harmful habits of young people are represented by many factors. These include: a low culture of the population, the degradation of society, the decline of the working and fertile population, the epidemic of infections, early pregnancies and much more.
