Answer:

C) the taking of any drug in a manner that can cause psychological or physical dependence

Explanation:

  The term “drug abuse” or “substance abuse” is defined as the use of chemicals that lead to an increased risk of mental and physical problems and an inability to control substance use.  The substance can be drugs like cocaine, amphetamines, cigarretes, alcohol, etc.

   Addiction (becoming "addicted") to a drug is dangerous and it can have harmful effects of these substances in the body. These effects include specially mental problems, kidney and liver disease. Addiction is not just the use of large amounts of drugs. Recent scientific research has shown that drugs not only interfere with normal brain functioning, creating feelings of pleasure, but also have long-term effects on brain metabolism and activity.

Why sexual and reproductive health education is important in school​
Paul [167]

Sexual and reproductive health education is really important in school so that way kids can learn how to avoid getting STD’s and all that. Often when schools poorly teach sexual and reproductive health education, students from that school end up having a poor knowledge on sex and reproduction and they’re more likely to end up having unplanned pregnancies and getting STD’s that could be very dangerous to health. They’re also more likely to be unaware of why they may be experiencing certain health issues from reproductive and sexual-related things.
