From Street to School and Global Learning

Topic Overview
For many young people, using alcohol, drugs, or other substances like ci******es is just part of growing up. Many of them try these substances only a few times and stop, while others may continue to use them on a more regular basis.

Young people may try several substances, including alcohol, household chemicals (inhalants), prescription and over-the-counter medicines, illegal drugs, and ci******es. They use alcohol more than any other substance. They use alcohol and cannabis (ma*****na) more than any other substances.

Young people use these substances for many of the same reasons that adults do—to relax or feel good. But they may also have other reasons for using substances. For example, they may want to know what it feels like to get high. Or they may want to rebel against their parents or fit in with their friends.

Using alcohol or drugs can affect young people's general health, physical growth, and emotional and social development. It can also change how well they make decisions, how well they think, and how quickly they can react. And using alcohol or drugs can make it hard for young people to control their actions. For some young people, alcohol or drug use may turn into a substance use problem.

Parents can play a key part in teaching their children about alcohol and drug use by talking honestly and openly about the effects that alcohol and drugs can have on their children's health, schoolwork, and relationships.
