Teenage Smoking

Teenagers now days are going through a lot of depression in the state of California. It has been a proven fact that kids are being prescribed anti depressants so they can stop being depressed. The kids that actually speak about their problems are the ones who actually get help for it but then you have to remember that there are also kids that do not talk about their problems and keep their depression inside of them. They find a different type of “outlet” to the depression. They start to smoke. Kid’s think that smoking helps them forget about all of their problems at home and that they will feel better after. They do not want to tell anyone because they know that if they talk about their depression, their parents are going to be worried and are going to take him or her to a doctor. Some kids are scared of doctors or they just do not care about it and just smoke. There are a lot of kids smoking now days because of the problems that they are going through at home. They like to get away from all of that and what they know how and that is to smoke. What kids fail to realize is that yes they forget about the problems during that time but when you are okay again, the problems are still there. You cannot run from problems because they are always going to be there. Smoking also messes up your brain. You start to forget things that you did not forget before. You start getting slower and you lose yourself. You start to get addicted to it and you start to try other things. It leads to so many horrible things.
