The bad habits of youth, smoking, alcohol, drug addiction are so firmly entrenched in the life of a modern teenager that it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with them every year. The World Health Organization is actively fighting smokers and drug addicts, some countries have passed laws to punish smokers, have banned smoking in public places, and most importantly have imposed an age limit. All this is valid in our country, only prohibitions, as you know, only incite interest and craving for bad habits.
To date, the statistics are such that the percentage of adult smokers is naturally decreasing, but the percentage of boys and girls who have bad habits of adolescents has increased significantly lately. Moreover, the number of girls who use tobacco is already equal to that among young men.
Much has been said about the dangers of smoking, so much that no one is paying attention, and adolescents often do not understand the seriousness of the consequences of smoking. Smoking is especially detrimental to a young, still immature body of teenage children. In our country, people start smoking already from the age of 8-9, at this age there is a high probability of becoming a heavy smoker in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent smoking as early as possible and it is possible to explain to children how bad habits of adolescents affect their bodies and what consequences this can lead to.
Alcoholism is another scourge of modern youth, bad habits of adolescents. Like smoking, alcohol begins at an early school age, when boys begin to try alcoholic beverages, and at an older age (13-14 years), they already begin to develop addiction. The girls in this matter join a little later, starting from adolescence. At this time, the so-called deviant behavior is common among adolescents , they tend to imitate adult behavior. And since the culture of our society remains at a low level, nothing good can be expected from the younger generation.
Especially detrimental alcohol affects the muscle system, cardiovascular, and of course, the nervous system. Constantly entering alcohol into the body destroys nerve cells, causing inhibition, decreased memory, attention, and ultimately leads to degradation of the individual. As well as doctors say that regular use of alcohol negatively affects potency, which with age can lead to sexual failure and infertility. The same applies to the fair sex, drinking alcohol and tobacco, they destroy already from birth the eggs laid in the ovaries, which are potentially their children. Thus, the girls, not suspecting this, begin to kill their children, before they even have time to think about them. In addition, the aforementioned bad habits of adolescents are often associated with the early pregnancy of adolescent girls, which is also a big social problem.
Addiction is one of the most dangerous bad habits prevalent among young people, causing the destruction of the human body and the destruction of his personality. According to statistics among Russian youth, 70% of respondents have tried drugs at least once. Drugs, like alcohol, cause addiction, which develops much faster and has a negative effect on all organs. Addiction is a companion to many diseases, such as hepatitis or AIDS.
The social consequences of young people's bad habits are represented by many factors. These include: low culture of the population, degradation of society, a decrease in the working and fertile population, epidemics of infections, early pregnancies and much more.
