By Susana Briones

Students who go through a stage, after going to high school and how it affects them. The students after moving from middle school to high school change a lot, thanks to the young people who go to high school are children but as time goes by they change. It is normal for young people to look for new experiences and new things to do, but what is not good is the consumption of drugs, because thanks to the fact that many students use drugs, they become addicted and affect their body and in the future they can go wrong thanks to the bad path they took in their past.

Many high school students start using drugs, because they believe or think that if they do that they will become popular or have friends because of that. Also, many students begin to use drugs, because of depression, many students after going to high school sometimes become more serious, in addition to feeling that they do not belong there or have no friends, this is how many young people begin to use drugs and thanks to that many young people have died thanks to an overdose.

Some effects of drugs in the body are cancer, many people are exposed to cancer but if they use drugs they are much more exposed to this disease, also heart problems and most importantly alteration to the brain, that makes people behave differently or who have a more negative attitude, people under the influence of drugs can become very aggressive. Some behaviors that your child can have if he uses drugs is when he has an aggressive attitude, when you see your child's grades and are bad and he is missing many classes, when he changes friends and you know that those friends are not a good influence for your son, those are some examples that your son is in a bad way.

out of 10 students use drugs, 17% of those High school students use drugs, in conclusion in the future this number will rise if they do nothing to stop young people. Young people now may think it is "cool", but it is not true and parents have to talk to their children to teach them what is right and what is wrong.
