Substance abuse is a serious problem that affects many adolescents. It can cause physical, mental, and social harm to them and can also lead to addiction, making it hard to stop using substances even when they want to.

To address substance abuse in adolescents, it is important to:

• Identify the signs and symptoms of substance abuse, such as changes in mood, behavior, appearance, or academic performance.
• Encourage them to seek professional help, such as counseling, therapy, support groups, or a treatment plan.
• Provide ongoing support and guidance to them during their recovery process, and help them cope with stressors and triggers.
• Prevent relapse by promoting healthy habits and activities, such as exercise, hobbies, or socializing with positive peers.
