As a teenager, I'm well aware that our generation is facing a unique set of challenges and One of the most concerning issues is the belief amongst our peers that "having drugs is cool". This mentality is not just only dangerous, but it can also have lasting consequences on our lives, our health, physical ,relation and overall well being .The idea that having 'drugs is cool' is perpetuated by multiple factors which includes peer pressure, media influence, and lack of awareness about the dangers of drug use and many others. Many young people see drug use as a way to rebel against authority or fit in with a certain group of friends. In some cases, they may also be influenced by the glamorization of drugs in popular culture, such as in music, movies, and TV shows. According to NDTV report,13%of drug users are less than 20 years of age.
