Peer influence and drug use among adolescents in rural areas.

Sample of 1,004 8th graders and 10th graders students from the 23 communities in eastern / eastern Texas decide 1) their views on the number of friends who use drugs, and 2) what they have received The amount of information on the medicine of their friends who was appreciated, and 3) the relationship between these ideas and the use of medication. A multivariate regression model including grade, sex, degree to which a friend is deemed to be using a drug, and the amount of information on drugs received from a friend explains 39% of the difference in rural drug participation in drug use I will. The project-specific analysis of these subcomponents of subcomponents explains the difference of 44% to the extent that rural youth participate in drug use. The same four factor model used discriminant analysis to accurately classify 81% non-drug users and 67% users. They think that they are using higher levels of drug use and students who obtain more drug information from their friends use drugs more frequently. The use of marijuana in these rural areas, whether as a companion or as a fact, can protect these students from a wide range of drug use patterns to a certain extent. The results of this study support the theory that pressure from colleagues in rural areas is related to substance abuse.

However, social factors related to the use of youth drugs, such as the management of families and schools, pressure from peers. Young people integrated into complex social networks are particularly vulnerable to colleagues in sleep as well as medicine. Therefore, the undeveloped aspect of the relationship between puberty sleep and drug abuse is the influence of social networks. Many behavioral and emotional conditions, including smoking, drinking, weight gain, loneliness, depression and happiness, have proved to have widespread for many years throughout the adult social network. Sleeping habits and drug use may also spread to adolescence. In such cases, the two actions indicated by members of the age group may affect each other - not between individuals, but between them.

Regarding social interactions, sociologists emphasize that the influence of fellows greatly affects the potential for people to use alcohol, tobacco and many other medicines (Hanson et al., 2012). Many of the drug use and even most of it started in adolescence when the influence of the fellow was particularly important. Many of us would like to use one of these medicines by mixing with the crowd when we drink, smoke or use other medicines at this stage in our lives. In related explanations, sociologists also emphasize that social "drug culture" is important for drug use. For example, as our culture is very beneficial to alcoholic drinks, many people drink alcohol. And from a sociological point of view, we generally have a drug culture, so it is not surprising that many kinds of narcotics are so common.
