Does anyone else know any additional information on what drugs can do to a teenage brain? Not including ALCOHOL!
Drugs are just as bad as alcohol. Drugs can cause “slower development of the brain and body, meaning that teens who use drugs are likely to have smaller brains and to be shorter, loss of short-term memory and ability to learn, undeveloped motor skills, lack of motivation, impaired emotional and sexual development, deviant behavior and conduct disorders, inability to judge risks, depression and suicidal tendencies, eating disorders, personality and psychiatric disorders, damage to the blood vessels in the brain which can lead to strokes, convulsions or seizures, and reduced brain function which can lead to coma or death.” (Drug Use Effects – Teen Drug Abuse)
