In all times there existed a problem of understanding between teenagers and their parents. Nowadays adults in chase of material well being and personal dissatisfaction of living standards are more intend to ignore and hide face from their children worries and problems. Lack of love and companionship drive to children and teenagers despair and low self- esteem. Adults are too busy for sincere and open talks with their kids, they have no times for being examples to follow, and most do not promulgate healthy way of life. On the other hand, there are adults who overconcern their children giving them no chance for independence and self- expression. Too much pressure and custody lead teenagers to the unsociability and inability to cope with the first difficulties in their lives. Absence of parental understanding the least needs make teenagers address with their problems to the other sources, not always right and true. Hopelessness, misunderstanding in families, desire to escape from the existing problems, stress and worry provoke teenagers for using tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, which are the most common used by teenagers nowadays.
I still remember one year ago, I went to one classmate’s home to do our class group project together. I saw a hookah on the table there. That was my first time I saw hookah so that I asked my classmate how to use it. Then my classmate took some dry hemp into the hookah and lighted hemp with some strange smell. He told me that this could make people feel better after smoking. Later I have known that marijuana was made by hemp and it was one of the common used drugs in the United State. That is a true story that happened to me but which was also not a weird thing among the American teenagers.
