8. Painkilling chemicals (i.e. analgesics) that occur naturally in the body are known as "endorphins."
This term comes from the fact that these endorphins act like internal (endogenous) morphines (opiates).
So they shortened endogenous morphine to "endo - orphines" = endorphins.

Reliance on addictive substances is a negative coping mechanism.
Nonamiya [84]
Yes, drugs are indeed a negative coping mechanism. Psychologists believe that the need to abuse narcotic drugs is a result of an underlying problem that needs to be unearthed and expressed openly. People who are experiencing drug abuse often are mentally and emotionally unstable and should seek professional help. They either end up hurting themselves or other people, sometimes without the knowledge of it.

Those recovering from the abuse attend group sessions where they openly share experiences with people who have also undergone the same experience.</span>

5. What qualities are important in a close friend? (1 point)
adelina 88 [10]
A friend should have their own opinion and not just say whatever to please you so A is crossed out.  C is crossed out because a good friend should display honesty whenever they have something to say wether it is good or bad so that way you can trust them. D is also crossed out because a friend should be reliable all the time wether they are angry with you or not. So that leaves option B. Option B is correct because a friend should care about your feelings and not just say mean things and harm you emotionally. So that means the correct answer is 
B) Empathizes by showing care and sensitivity to your feelings.
