Many teens these days indulge in high-risk behaviors, for instance drug use. Teens often start doing drugs "to be cool, or fit in", the result of peer pressure, speak from experience. I smoked my first joint of marijuana with a couple of my friends when I was a freshman in high school. I have always been rebellious in my lifetime so I gave it a shot. We went to my friend Mikes older brothers friends …showed first 75 words of 903 total…

…showed last 75 words of 903 total…live home, almost made me lose the best friends I have, which then proves and I quote one of my best friends "pot is the devil". In conclusion from my story it shows how or why some teens may engage in high-risk behavior such as drugs. Many start because of peer pressure, bad childhood or start because of boredom or nothing else to do. Take my advice, Drugs or high-risk behavior gets you nowhere fast.
