Teens in their early adolescence who are hyper-focused on being cool are more likely to have problems with substance abuse, criminal behavior, and managing social relationships.
Parents need to help support age-appropriate activities and not worry if their child isn’t popular.
In early adolescence, behaviors that once made teens appear cool and mature to their peers actually stunts their social and emotional growth.
E-cigarettes simulate smoking by turning a liquid into vapor that is then inhaled.
Although e-cigarettes are marketed as a safe-alternative to smoking, there are no long-term studies on their use and many preliminary studies have shown that they can carry a high level of toxins.
A lack of regulation has made e-cigarettes easy for teens to get a hold of, putting them at risk for a dangerous and hard to kick nicotine habit.
