Are the pressures of modern society so great that it is forcing people both young and old to take up drugs or is it more to do with peer group pressure that is encouraging the participation in drug abuse, or maybe it can be blamed on genetic makeup??

Not to mention that most of us perceive we are less attractive to the opposite sex .

The pressures of modern living are also having a detrimental effect on our adolescent youth. Take a look at the following statistics and be amazed.
