Being around other teens who use drugs can cause a domino effect among you and your friends. If one of your friends is abusing a substance, the likelihood of one or more of your friends also starting to abuse the same substance is high. So being around other teens who are abusing drugs is particularly risky due to things like peer pressure & curiosity.
