Drinking Caffeine
Caffeine causes anxiety and dehydrates the body. For teens this can really harm them.
Lot of people even substitute caffeine with decaf thinking its better but its just as bad.
That little energy you get from drinking caffeine is the worst that could possibly happen. Some drastic changes in the brain if you are drinking one or two cups a day, especially if they are struggling from anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Other Bad Habits
Biting Nails
: A human hand is one of the dirtiest parts of a body and your nails having even more bacteria. Although, that doesn't stop many adults/teens from continuing to bite their nails. Even in the internet shows that almost 30 percent of the population engages in this gross behavior.
Not Flossing
: Many teens do not floss. About 20 percent of the population do not floss. This can cause pain in gums and when you are older your teeth begin to fall out
Early Drinking and Smoking
: Smoking causes lung disease, cancers, etc. A growing teenage body of evidence suggests that these substances could be really dangerous when they are used together. As most teens and adults combine alcohol and tobacco dramatically increase the risk of certain cancers.
