Teenage Vices

The Issue

Teenagers are now engaging into different vices. The three vices that teenagers engage in today are alcohol, drugs, and sex.

We can't deny the fact that teenage life is the most crucial years we are facing on since lot of pressures,crisis and personal constraints may occur.

Alcohol is the common vice that teenager succumb to. The reason why some teenagers are engaging to vices is peer pressure. Peer pressure is a powerful force at any stage of life, but its especially influencial during adolescene. 

The use of drugs among teenagers is also very abundant. Weed and Marijuana  are the most frequently used drugs by the youth today. According to a research, the primary causes as to why teenagers of 14 to 19 years old enjoy liquors is because of social pressure, depression, and low- self esteem. They think that alcohol is a temporary escape from reality as it helps them to forget their problems. Although this certainly is not the right and safe way to help an individual escape the realm of one's problem. 

Parents indeed play a primordial role in the development of their children. Hence, they are the one who will give them personal advice and teach them the morals in the society. Moreover, they are the important person who will show them comfort and guide them during in their dilemmas. But, let us face the current situation now. Parents are no longer guiding their children and tend to neglect their obligations. I must say that since parents are busy working earning for an income, their children on the hand are also busy doing prohibited things which are not suited and appropriate for their ages.


In conclusion, the three vices that teenagers succumb to are alcohol, drugs, and sex. They mostly turn to these because of social abuses and issues that they experience at home and in society.
