That’s not true and a very gross generalisation. Teenagers or people in general have a predisposition if they come from troubled homes and have had a bad childhood, or dealt with physical/ emotional/ sexual abuse.
It could be escapism, insecurity or other psychological issues. Many of them are victims themselves.
It doesn’t really make you happy, it will increase dopamine in your brain and make you think you are happy - it will further increase your threshold for “happiness” and you will need more of the drug to feel it. It’s how addiction works, you get completely dependent on it.. if you don’t get the help on time, you will die.
Some people may just do it at parties to look cool and then it’s just a phase in their life. Some may never try it.
Just because one has money doesn’t mean they can’t be more ambitious or want to waste away, it’s just that they are more exposed to it. One could be born in a royal family and still want to give up luxury and become a saint.
