In today’s world, statistics show that 40% of teenagers in the United States consume alcohol. Another 25% of teenagers in high schools take marijuana. The effects of alcohol and substance abuse have many effects; among the effects is laziness, encouraging irresponsibility and many others. Drug abuse encourages neglect of duty among all people. Adolescents who indulge in drug and substance abuse will most likely neglect studies and other essential life factors. Such adolescents are not likely to succeed (CDC, 1999). In the modern world, bullying has been on the increase in high schools. The victims of bullying live in stress and fear. Stress and fear will certainly affect the performance of students in schools thus affecting their success. Sexting involves sending of explicit messages mostly using mobile phones. Sexting exposes adolescents to early sexual activities. Early sex exposes students to teenage pregnancies, contracting STIs and general erosion of morals. If students contract an STI or become pregnant at early age, their performance in schools is affected. Teenagers might even drop out of school because of this. Pornography is common in high schools today. Pornography is very addictive and students will most likely overlook studies to watch pornography. Pornography exposes adolescents to early sex too. All these factors will affect studies hence affect the success of the students.
