The harm of smoking to teenagers.
In an article published on World No Tobacco Day on 3 1 May, 2002, the Singapore government pointed out: "The bad habit of smoking begins in childhood. According to a survey, a quarter of middle school students smoke or try to smoke, and it is difficult for them to quit smoking after they become addicted. " The article said: "The main reason why most middle school students smoke is curiosity and fun. They don't know that nicotine will invade their brains as long as 10 seconds after smoking the first cigarette, making them feel excited and then unable to extricate themselves. Once addicted, smoking is no longer curious.
The survey shows that more than half of the families with mothers, fathers or both smoke, and more than 1/3 of the brothers and sisters smoke; Close friends smoke more than 55%.
Although students who smoke come from different backgrounds, the social environment has a great influence on them. Therefore, parents who smoke should pay special attention to quitting smoking for the health of their children.
How can smoking be addictive?
Medical experiments show that nicotine directly enters your brain, so it has a strong influence on your psychology and physiology. Nicotine can stimulate your brain and release some chemicals that make you feel happy, but the feeling of smoking makes you addicted. This feeling won't last long, but it is only temporary. Later, in order to meet the needs of this feeling, you have to light the next cigarette. If you don't smoke in time, you will feel impatient because of addiction. After a long time, your cigarette demand will increase day by day.
drink
Studies have shown that drinking alcohol is extremely harmful to the development and growth of teenagers.
International Online Report: A recent study published by the University of Memphis in the United States pointed out that excessive drinking by teenagers will cause serious damage to the body and brain.
The results of this study show that excessive drinking will delay growth and development and damage brain function, especially for developing teenagers.
The researchers stressed that although this experiment is only conducted on mice at present, teenagers should pay attention to drinking and never drink too much. (Xu Shi)

Keywords: network; Teenagers; Harm; Analysis; Countermeasures
With the emergence of computer network and Internet, the wave of information networking has swept the world. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Information Industry, the number of netizens in China has exceeded 1 100 million, and it is doubling every year, among which teenagers account for 80%. Internet has become an important platform for teenagers to learn, communicate and entertain. But the network is a double-edged sword, and it is also in danger of addiction.
First, the harm of the Internet to teenagers
(1) The exhaustion of willpower and the decline of self-control ability, as well as the excessive use of the Internet, make teenagers have a strong dependence on the Internet. Especially the adventure in online games, the ease in online dating, the fresh temptation in unhealthy online content, etc. , so that teenagers gradually suffer from "internet addiction", but they lose interest in their main life-learning, lack perseverance, decline in self-control, and neglect their studies.
(B) the formation of "network personality" and the decline of physical quality
The biggest characteristics of network personality are "loneliness, nervousness, fear, indifference and non-socialization". Attachment to the online virtual world, man-machine dialogue and computer-mediated communication easily alienate people's personality from the real society, and teenagers are in a period of vigorous growth and development. The radiation and high tension of staying in front of the computer for a long time will damage various functions of the human body and lead to the decline of physical quality.
(C) distrust of people around and tense interpersonal relationships
In the virtual world of the Internet, everyone appears as a false identity. Although many times you can boldly express your true thoughts or say what you want to say without scruple, under the false identity, there is little truth in online interpersonal relationships, which is always full of distrust and interpersonal tension. Especially for "introverted" teenagers, the network provides them with a platform to show themselves, but it also makes them more introverted and self-enclosed offline.
(D) vague values and diluted moral values
Adolescence is the formation period of outlook on life and values, with strong curiosity and weak self-control, which is easily influenced by alienation. Network is not only a treasure house of information, but also a dump of information. All kinds of information are mixed, all-encompassing: novel, rebellious and interesting, especially the propaganda tone and cultural trend of thought in western developed countries, which can easily make teenagers' outlook on life and values tilt and blur. In the virtual world of the internet, interpersonal relationships are not subject to responsibility and punishment, which leads to self-centered habits, especially cyber violence, pornography, fraud and so on. , which makes the moral quality of teenagers addicted to the internet decline and their moral concepts fade.
(e) Cybersecurity risks and cybercrime
The Internet has aroused the safety anxiety of teenagers. Due to the immature physical and mental development of teenagers, their poor ability to distinguish right from wrong and their weak awareness of self-protection, it is easy to cause online privacy loss, online intimidation and online fraud. Once met, they are often frightened and at a loss. The randomness and concealment of network communication often make teenagers victims. Because of teenagers' strong curiosity and desire to imitate, many network victims have become aggressors again, and network crimes are on the rise.
So some people shout loudly: heady online pornography, the invisible tiger that eats people. Once they are submerged, it will destroy the hope and future of our country. So who pushed our teenagers into the beautiful fire pit of the Internet? What causes our teenagers to become slaves of the Internet, which symbolizes high technology and represents the new era?
The Harm of Internet Pornography to Teenagers
Internet pornography is called "electronic heroin", which shows its harmfulness.
One of the hazards: affecting the study or work of young netizens. The most direct and obvious influence of infatuation with online pornography on teenagers is the neglect of normal study or work. According to the survey of China Internet Information Center, netizens spend an average of 8.5 hours surfing the Internet every week. Personal energy and time are limited, and wasting a lot of energy and time in online chat rooms will inevitably affect teenagers' study or work.
The second harm: distorting the physical and mental health of teenagers, and even moving towards sexual crimes. Internet pornography provides a large number of pornographic pictures and texts, many of which advocate sexual perversion, homosexuality, pedophilia, incest and other abnormal sexual behaviors. Whether teenagers actively seek or passively accept such information will have an impact on their formation of correct sexual concepts and behaviors. What's more, there are hundreds of so-called "sexual knowledge" mistakes taught by some websites under the banner of "health", which are not scientific and rigorous at all. Long-term acceptance of these malformed and wrong information will have a destructive impact on the shaping and development of adolescents' physical and mental health. Some teenagers with poor self-control and weak will can't help but be tempted to take risks and go to the abyss of sexual crimes. The media disclosed many cases in which young students indulged in online pornography for a long time and finally committed sexual crimes.
The third hazard: endangering the personal safety and even life of teenagers. Some organized porn producers and communicators use online chat rooms to trick teenagers into providing various paid sexual services (for others or for themselves), which is not only a blatant crime, but also a direct threat to the personal safety and even life of teenagers. In a southern province, a vicious incident occurred in which a criminal gang used online chat rooms to trick female teenagers into prostitution. There are also some criminals who use chat rooms to have "online dating" and "online marriage" with young netizens, and invite them to meet when the time is ripe. Since the beginning of this year, the media has reported no less than five cases of young women being raped and killed by netizens. Internet pornography poses a direct threat to the personal safety of stubborn teenagers, and some teenagers even pay the price of their lives.
take drugs
What are the main hazards of drug abuse to human health?
The effect of drugs on human body first damages human brain and affects the function of central nervous system. Secondly, it affects the functions of the heart, blood circulation and respiratory system, and also affects the normal reproductive ability. It is not uncommon for drug addicts or their spouses to give birth to deformed children and deformed people. Drug abuse will reduce people's immunity and make people susceptible to various diseases. These people often have sallow faces, thin bodies, black lips and cold faces. In severe cases, they will lose their ability to work and even be exhausted. When drug addicts are addicted to drugs, they feel dizzy, tinnitus, vomiting, tears, incontinence and trembling all over. At this time, drug addicts often lose their humanity and rationality. They have limb spasms, ghosts howling, or hitting a wall or self-mutilation, causing massive bleeding and even committing suicide. In addition, it is worth noting that some drug addicts often fail to meet the requirements in the later stage and turn to intravenous injection. They use unsterilized syringes and needles, which leads to the spread of AIDS.
What are the hazards of minors taking and injecting drugs?
Author: Anonymous article Source: Unknown hits: 8 Updated on May-17, 2006
At present, the drug problem in China is getting more and more serious. In many places, there is a huge underground drug market, and drugs can easily flow into the hands of minors. Minors often take drugs because of ignorance, seeking spiritual stimulation, or because they are curious, fresh and fashionable, venting their frustration and finally getting cancer. Nowadays, minors have become an increasingly large group in the army of drug abuse and injection. According to the survey, among the 65438 to 0998 drug addicts in Shanxi Province, 44% are under 25 years old. 1998, there were more than 540,000 heroin and opium addicts registered in China, of which 83.6% were teenagers. The youngest is 1 1 year. No wonder former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Craxi was worried about the serious drug problem in his country ten years ago: "Drug abuse is a common social phenomenon. It dives into our social organization like a moth to a fire, and first bites its weakest and unsuspecting link-teenagers. Therefore, we must use all available means to save teenagers who are hurt by drugs. "
The harm of minors taking and injecting drugs is very serious. We can analyze it from the following aspects:
First, it harms the health of minors. All kinds of drugs do serious harm to human body. According to scientific determination, drugs will seriously damage the endocrine system and autoimmune system of human brain, heart, lungs and kidneys. Therefore, after injecting drug addiction, people will be weak, haggard, mentally decadent, unresponsive, moody, and even cough and hemoptysis, palpitations and sexual dysfunction. Excessive drug use and injection can lead to death. According to the United Nations World Drug Report 1997,100000 people died of drug abuse, and100000 people lost their ability to work because of drug abuse. There have also been many cases of drug-related deaths in China. There is also a situation that people must attach great importance to, that is, some infectious diseases and sexually transmitted diseases spread rapidly and in large quantities through unclean drug syringes.
Second, it harms the mental health of minors. Minors who are addicted to taking or injecting drugs often have symptoms such as mental decline, difficulty in concentration, decreased control, emotional instability, and easily getting angry. In their outlook on life and world, they lack lofty pursuit and become selfish and demoralized.
Third, it directly leads to the proliferation of drug crimes. A large number of minors join the ranks of corrupt gentlemen, which greatly stimulates the drug consumption market, makes the crimes of manufacturing, selling and transporting drugs gain huge profits and encourages these crimes. In addition, many drug addicts and injecting drug users also engage in drug-related criminal activities such as drug trafficking and transportation to maintain their huge expenditure on drug abuse and injection.
4. Inducing other criminal offences. Drug abuse and crime are twin brothers. The stimulation of drugs itself is easy to lead to crime; In addition, drugs are expensive. According to the survey, drug addicts need to spend about 300 yuan every day, otherwise they can't live. Minors have no money income, they can steal if they can, cheat if they can, and rob if they cannot. They will do whatever it takes to get the money. Theft, robbery, fraud, extortion, prostitution and other crimes are often related to injecting drug use.
Fifth, corrupt the social atmosphere. Minors often regard drug abuse as a kind of show-off, and think that "only by taking heroin can they gain a foothold and work hard in society". After drug addiction, their basic personal dignity is lost, their morality is ruined and they are shameless. Men gamble, fight and go whoring, while women sell their bodies and become prostitutes, which corrupts the social atmosphere.
