Did you know it’s much more dangerous for a girl to use meth than a boy? Meth use has become a very serious problem for female adolescents, and young women. They use these drugs as a means for coping with life stressors, as a means for facilitating and enhancing relationships with peers and romantic partners and a major reason, for its anorexic effects. Young women use it for more reasons than men do, and they become dependent on meth faster and more quickly than boys. They are also much more likely to suffer depression and suicidal tendencies than boys who abuse meth. 54% of females vs. 46% of males reported depressive symptoms.

Both percentages are high. But what you're saying is true.Girls become emotionally reliant on things very easily, and meth is something that can make your life seem wonderful at first, but after that it's so bad. You start to feel like living life sober is just not worth it. The adolescent years are when we're maturing emotionally, and meth pretty much stunts your emotional growth. A friend of mine, his girlfriend is 26, but she acts like a teenager. She's an emotional wreck and she makes the relationship emotionally abusive. She did meth for seven years, since she was 13 or 14. And she acts about that age.

Girls bodies seem a lot more fragile than mens, so I think any drug would be much more dangerous for women than for men.
