Shy teens at higher risk of substance abuse – While shyness is often thought to be relatively harmless, it can in fact have damaging effects on young people. Dr. Bernardo Carducci, Director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, finds that shy male teens, who may turn to drugs and/or alcohol to help deal with stressful social situations, are at a higher risk than their peers to develop substance abuse. One way to help shy teens avoid these potential dangers is to encourage them to get part-time jobs at which they are forced to interact with customers.

To be honest with u.. this advice seems to be a bit insensitive, and takes into NO ACCOUNT whatsoever for individual differences. If someone has a ‘chronic’ problem with being shy to the point where it is disabling,,, you should see a good psychologists? about it. For alot of people getting a job that forces interaction might be the right step, but if you are not one of thoes people someone needs to get you feeling more comfortable before this kind of thing is forced upon someone
its not a good solution youre? right. i did the same and it brought my self esteem even lower when i was fired from MCDONALDS! bullshit. they thought i was slow. it was bullshit
I wish some smart intelligent adult had? discovered me when iwas younger. i dont think i turned out so bad so far – but ive made mistakes. i couldnt go to my parents for advice or help or uspport – theyre useless.
A horse I adopted in my teens taught me about world peace. Rebel was a broken-down show horse — abused, starving, and angry. I saw myself in? him. After paying his ransom, I took him to the wilderness, loosened the reins, hung onto his mane for dear life, and just let him run!
After a year of getting to choose his own path through the wilderness, Rebel became as gentle as a dove. He regained his peaceful free spirit, and so did I. He taught me? the importance of freedom in achieving world peace.
This Video is a load of fake psychiatry, socialogy, and garbage,….Kinda Funny LOL!!! cuz I’m a very shy person and I never used drugs nor plan to ever use drugs in my life even if im in a very stressed situation. I never talked to a shy person who has done drugs? or drink alchohol
whats 100? percent correct?
yeah get a job working at taco bell where you get treated like shit by asshole customers and get your self esteem fucked? up more
haha they recommend getting a job to keep teens from drinking. thats a good plan, get them all stressed out at a bullshit fast food place, dealing with pissy customers all day and then tell? them not to drink. i’m sure anyone who has worked with the public at all knows what i mean.
i think this could be true but maybe you should look at the kids whove responded to this and? actually ask teens instead of making presumptions. Teens do drugs for thrills, it doesnt matter what you say its the truth
i dont think these guys are talking about “heroin” …. lol
their talking about ganja, xtc, cocain…. have fun when ya young drugs
if ya wana live boring or have other ways of having fun then by all means do it, but for? those in run down area’s and poor country’s and place’s, need drugs, and illeagle raves, dirt bikes…. its how we live..
Weed/bikes = my life.
some people like it that way, these people just dont like that we like it.
“a? kid doesn’t KNOW the drug will be fun, but is hoping and risking it will be”
– a kid is meant to climb trees and get into mischief. When he’s faced with an ASBO, heroin seems more appealing.
You can’t even play football where I live.
tabaco abuse? lol
shyness research institute? LOL!!!
this is the bigest load of bollox since the? government!!
hmm intresting.?
Teens take drugs because its fun. Simple as that.
If drugs were boring, teens wouldn’t take? them.
Drug dealers often approach vunerable people. Friends offer their friends drugs.
And i think the thing about jobs is right- it does give you more? confidence.
BIGGEST LOAD OF BULLSHIT EVER!! yeah so a shy teen is going to approach a drug dealer or ask someone to get there drink.
Yeah right then..?
I like the way they talk about teenagers as if we’re a bunch of dumb animals, with no mind? of our own and just act on instinct.
Can’t hear a fuckin thing! Why’s his voice so quite.
Nvm only had Left? earphone in lol
hahahaha!!!
fukin hell man… this is the kind of shit doctors cum up with just so people have something to talk about and discuss on a friday night.
this is the biggest load of shit ive ever heard, i mean if a teenager was shy, wouldnt that lessen the chances? of him/her taking drugs, because if they did people would start talking about them which is exactly what the shy teenager doesnt want
Oh right, i understand? lol!!
Thanks.
Fuck this, i’m shy, but why the hell would? i take drugs??
Fuck the Government (apart from Obama)
