Depending on if they have had bad experiences in their life doing drugs might be a way to release there “pain” something to take your mind off of the negative stuff in there lives or they may just want to fit into a crowd or people that they want to hang out with. Teens also need To take risks because that’s the way the brain can develop and grow. (Please ignore my bad grammar)

Answer:

Young people are more likely to take risks with their health because  in my personal opinion, feel like it may make them feel or look more mature, or they want to experience a sense of "yolo".

Explanation:

Being a teen myself, I would be lying if I were to say I do everything simply because I want to please myself or make myself happy. People can do things, drugs or use nicotine, to feel a high. When you do something you feel is not exactly "good", or something you really should not be doing, you feel a superiority. This makes teens feel special, or cool, and that could be a reason why they do it.

Hopefully that might help?

This is really a subjective answer. If given the choice to either give the lung to a six-year old lung cancer patient or the heavy smoker, I would choose the six-year old.

If I had to choose between car crash victim on a lung machine or the heavy smoker, I would choose the car crash victim.

If I had to choose between this heavy smoker and a young smoker that developed lung cancer, I would choose the young smoker and hope that he/she would change his/her habits and quit.

I bet you're starting to see the point I'm making. Hope this helps!

Explain some steps you can take to help abstain from early sexual activity.
svlad2 [7]
<span>There are many things a person can do in order to abstain from early sexual activity. They can tell their partner right away how they feel and let them know they don't want to partake in any sexual activities until they are ready and think is safe. Also, they can date a person who shares their opinions about this thing, so that they are not tempted to do something they don't want to do. They can also go on group dates, and just generally be honest with their partner. </span>
