dc.description.abstract<p>Drugs do more harm to a teen‟s brain than anyone could ever imagine. Our teens are exposed to drugs i.e.Nicotine, Caffeine, amphetamines, prescription drugs--- just to mention few. Unfortunately a drug is a pleasure producing chemical.Drugs make the young feel good, but are the pleasure they get worth the price we all pay?Drugs are extremely appealing to teens “Some drugs produce extraordinary levels of pleasure “. Drugs basically activate chemical pathways in the brain that are associated with feelings of well being and euphoria, or in other words work by modifying the chemistry of pleasure.If teens get in trouble with drugs, they stop being interested in things they used to be interested in. This is an important sign.Teen brains are very easily injured by drugs and take a long time to repair. Adolescent brain is a very unique structure. Recent advances on drug addiction will be presented.</p>en
