Smoking Teens: Why?

Cigarette Smoking among teens is rapidly increasing nowadays. Some started smoking at the age of 10 and some at even earlier age. Why is that so?
Smoking is considered as past time and to ease stress by smokers. They always include this habit to their daily routine. They could not finish a day without lightning a stick of cigarette. They feel incomplete without using it.
Teens usually are prone to this kind of acts, maybe because they just wanna have fun or because they wanted to get in into their groups. Some teens also says that there parents are doing it that is why they just followed. We can see here that parents really has the great role in polishing their child's life. Yes! Parents are models for their children. Whatever they do their children tends to follow it. No matter how wrong it was (like drugs, cigarette smoking) as long as YOU parents are doing it, in the eyes of your child it is good. Remember In child's eyes wrong will be right if they see someone especially their parents do it.
I am not generalizing the parents. Actually my mother is an exception to that too, but we cannot deny the fact that to some this is happening. They are not minding doing silly things like this in front or in the presence of their children. Parents, always remember the future of your child depends on how you make or how you polish them.
Parents are not the only source of child's attitude. I know that. You may have good parents but when you go out and met new friends which is too normal for us teens to do may also be one source of child's attitude. Let me site an example here. Let me say Ana. Ana is a very obedient girl. She follows what her parents says, well of course her parents are doing good things too. They are not into vices that makes Ana's family a role model family. But when Ana reaches the time where she meet's new friend and wanted to be in group their conflicts arises. What if the group she is aiming to be in will make her do silly things for her to be in that group. We could not erase the fact that some groups have that, especially when you enter a sorority or a fraternity. Nowadays we could rarely find a holy fraternity and sorority. Yeah. You can find for one if you has the taste to be in it.
Now let's go back to our situation. Now, Ana here is forced to smoke and do drugs because she really wanted to be called as "in". She now consume a pack of cigarette a day when in fact she is not doing it in the past.
Yes. As you grow you meet many challenges. Well its up to you if you will just go with the flow are do your best to pass through such circumstances. You may have good parents. You may have good friends. What is important here is how you handle yourself. It is you who will decide of what you will do and you will not do. Remember your future lies not on anybodies hand but in yours.
