Definition:
The book does not contain a definition for teen drug use. It mentions teen drug use on pages 319-321.

Examples:
Some examples of teen drug use include underage [|alcohol use], [|marijuana],[|Vicodin](recreational use outside of the scope of its purpose), [|Diet pills], [|Tranquilizers], Over-the -counter Cold medicines,[|Cocaine], [|Oxycontin], [|MDMA (Ecstasy),][|Crack Cocaine], [|Ritalin], [|Methamphetamine], [|LSD], and [|Heroin].



Analogies:
It can be said that a person traded in all their problems for one big problem, like people who have credit problems and condense all their monthly bills into one low interest payment. A drug addicts only problem in life is finding his/her next high. They're not worried about their parents, high school, getting into college, boyfriend/girlfriend troubles, etc. Even when life is at its worst they still have only one problem - getting high.
