It is highly important to always backup teen parties with proper guidance from adults, otherwise, dangerous occurrences cold not be avoided. Web MD featured the reality of danger in teen parties, suggesting the following to be aware with:
- Drinking
- Playing Risky games
- Drugs
- Car accidents
- Sex
- Raving
Among the list above, drugs would be the most hazardous and alarming especially these days. When teens are drinking, some could just put something in the drink. One currently hot drug is called zombie drug or flakka, which can be one of these drugs that can just change the whole life of a teen. When this comes into the teen's body, there will be tremendous boost in energy, making him/her feel like the most powerful hero in the world. It can also cause paranoia, delusions, agitation, and unbelievable tolerance to pain. There are many incidents with teens killing people and acting like zombies in America because of flakka.
Teens should be well guided and even if they do not want to, there should be committees in the neighborhood that will maintain supervision in streets and homes for possible happenings among teens. Teens, on the other hand, should be educated well about the dangers of uncontrolled partying.
