I think the main reason young people misuse/abuse drugs and alcohol is simply due to experimentation. I think that what happens thereafter is directly related to circumstances such as culture/class/family involvement, like how far their experimentation goes, does it become an addition or for social use.I don’t know if I agree so much with the throw it away mentality (their life), I think youth simply don’t consider consequences before they act, they live in the moment and not in the future.
