Mission Prep on the Rising Substance Abuse Rates Among Teen Girls
Mission Prep and Aja Chavez recently shared insights on a new report highlighting an alarming trend—teen girls are drinking and using drugs at higher rates than boys. The data points to an urgent need for early intervention and targeted support to address the unique challenges young girls face when it comes to substance use.
Several factors may contribute to this trend, including social pressures, mental health struggles, and increased exposure to substance use through social media and peer influence. Experts emphasize the importance of open conversations, access to mental health resources, and proactive education to help prevent substance abuse and provide support for those at risk.
At Mission Prep, we are committed to raising awareness about teen substance abuse and advocating for early intervention strategies that promote long-term well-being. By addressing the underlying causes and providing young people with the right tools, we can work toward healthier, substance-free futures for teens.
