All teenagers face the so-called crisis of authenticity. What is it? The crisis of authenticity is a psychological problem associated with the end of puberty (20-25 years) and the beginning of aging. At this age, any teenager can find a lot of information on the Internet about
how to make drugs at home
and sites such as: "one hundred ways to leave life beautifully." Most people have a rather negative attitude towards the topic of death, but all psychologists know how acute this problem becomes in adolescence.
Teenagers who experience a lack of emotional warmth from contact with other people begin to compensate for this with alcohol and drugs. Teenagers are very susceptible to slogans like this:
"Live fast, die young"
. It was this slogan that once caused an epidemic of suicides - "quick deaths" - in many Western countries.
If at this age a teenager is given a drug to try for the first time at a party or a disco, he will not only become addicted to the drug, but there is also a very high probability that the teenager, under the influence of drug intoxication and "age crisis", will decide to leave life "beautifully". Psychologists around the world are sounding the alarm, as the number of cases of suicidal behavior among teenagers is growing. Teenagers, contrary to the instinct of self-preservation and common sense, behave in such a way that their behavior can only be described as self-destructive. Drugs only push teenagers to suicide.
Education, healthcare, law enforcement professionals, as well as ordinary citizens, are increasingly seeing a sad picture: teenagers drink, inject, sniff, poison themselves, hang themselves, and shoot themselves.
This makes us afraid for our society. Only in the well-known anecdote, three grandmothers at the entrance to their building are happy for their grandchildren, one of whom will become a doctor because he constantly gives himself injections, another an agronomist because he grows poppy and hemp at his dacha, and the third a driver because he constantly sniffs gasoline. In our society, there are more and more people like these grandmothers who do not see what is happening to our society. Teenagers actively post their adventures on YouTube (just type in the query drug use), where all this is actively discussed and it is clear that many are not averse to trying, and few condemn it.
When a teenager takes drugs, his consciousness splits . A different reality appears. It is for this reality that teenagers love to take drugs. The teenager's consciousness splits under the influence of drugs, two consciousnesses are formed, and at this moment, under the influence of both external and internal factors, one of the consciousnesses can become independent of the second, a conflict of consciousnesses will arise, and then one of the consciousnesses can give the order to destroy. It is clear that under the influence of drugs, the teenager's mind will have a hard time in this battle .
Once a teenager tries a drug, he immediately quickly understands that in this way he can quickly and easily influence his pleasure centers, it is enough to take a light drug or alcohol. A teenager, consuming alcohol and drugs, suppresses his vital instincts and, as a result, suicide.
Teenagers who begin to experience sexual need and sexual attraction no longer develop behavior patterns for conquering an object, it is enough for a teenager to take a light drug himself and offer the drug to the object, and the drugs take care of the rest. Teenagers, having realized all the "charm" of light drugs, no longer strive for external and internal attractiveness to conquer the "girl of their dreams".
A behavior pattern is developed: took a drug - gave the drug to the object - sex. It is not difficult to guess how such teenagers will live in family life, and how they will raise their children, if these dwill there be children at all and will they be healthy? In the future, these people will not be able to imagine their life without a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, psychologist. Not only they, but also their children will have to pay for everything.
Personally, I think the happy future of a teenager who used drugs is questionable. A person who is used to partying, drinking, shooting up, and enjoying life only in this way will certainly have problems in the future. The main task facing a person at the age of 18-25 is to reveal the ability for intimacy and love, the ability to understand others, the ability to take on obligations towards others, or as Z. Freud said, a person at this age should love and work.
Then, at the age of 25-55, a person should take care of what was created earlier (children, work, ideas).
Is a person who is used to shooting up capable of love, care, work and serving the Motherland? Is a mother who used to run around discos and fuck while high capable of raising a healthy, smart child? I think all of you answered correctly.
For such people, at the age of 25-55, an unfavorable period begins, they begin to become bored, indulge in their weaknesses, and have impoverished interpersonal contacts. How could it be otherwise, when everything was so good and easy when you were young, high, and then there's a husband, a child, a job, etc. Such people will either take up drugs again or alcohol.
In old age, after 55, people who used soft drugs will also not have everything smooth. This period in normal people is manifested by a feeling of peace, a decrease in concern for their lives, confidence in the meaning of life and its dignity, wisdom. People who have taken soft drugs, if they have not become alcoholics and died at the age of 22-55, develop a disgust for life and anger at others and the whole world in general!!!
Well, friends, I would like to finish this article here, and I would like to remind you that alcoholism always begins with a glass of wine or beer, and drug addiction with soft drugs.
For those who want to help our Motherland, and see beyond their noses (not like the grandmothers from the joke), I would ask you to join in solving the problem of teenage drug addiction. What is needed for this? Just put links to this article on forums or sign articles on other sites. More details in the section help the site.
