30、fused which role to take in society.Most of them usually have identity crisis at this age and smoking makes them feel better.Once they start smoking，they soon love the feeling of contentment it brings them.Thus，they continue doing it.Peer pressure is also a great factor to this.A teenager would like
31、 to belong to a group.Being alone and no friends when you are a teenager is hard.Having some people to support you and accompany you in any social activity feels great.At this stage，teenagers feel their parents dont understand them.Everything that their parents tell them and do is against their will
32、.They still cant understand all the things their parents are doing for them which are for their own good.Those who are nonsmokers are often convinced by smokers to engage in this activity.Usually，they would smoke and drink overnight.Teenagers feel that if they wont join the group，they would lose the
