Drugs in the media
It is countless, how many celebrities display drugs in the media as something positive, and something glorious for a good life. However, what is not shown by the media, is how these celebrities merely last a few years and then horribly fail in life. Unhappy, depressed, unsatisfied, bored, and broken mentally and psysically. As if the fame is not enough pressure for them, their image is furthermore "improved" for the teenagers by making the celebrities take drugs such as weed and alcohol.
More and more, you get celebrities smoking joints on stage and posting their “daily high” pictures. This could likely encourage our generation to try out drugs as they are really portrayed as something "fun". If one wouldn’t know better, one really wouldn’t mind to try them.
