On Monday, January 29, 2024 a news study finds that kids who smoke or drink are more likely to be emotionally troubled or are at more risk of having suicidal thoughts.
The students who turn to alcohol, smoking, etc, develop hyperactivity, psychotic episodes and don’t pay attention. Suicidal thoughts occur about 5 times more often in high school students that use substances near daily, than those who don’t use it all.
For the study more than 15,000 students in Massachusetts were surveyed.
