6. Summarize the following text.
Many adolescents face pressure to use alcohol, cigarettes or other drugs and to initiate sexual relationship putting themselves at high risk for intentional and unintentional injuries, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Many also experience a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. Behavior patterns that are established during this period such as the use or avoidance of drugs and taking or abstaining from sexual risk can have long- lasting negative and positive effects on future health and well- being. As a result, adults have unique opportunities to influence adolescents.
Adolescents are different both from young children and adults. Specifically, adolescents are not fully capable of understanding complex concepts, or the relationship between behavior and consequences, or the degree of control they have or can have over health decision- making, including that related to sexual behavior. This inability may make them particularly uvlnerable to sexual exploitation and high risk behaviors. Laws, customs and practices may also affect adolescents differently than adults. For example,
Laws and policies often restrict adolescents’ access to reproductive health information and services, especially when they are unmarried. In addition, even when services do exist, provider attitudes about adolescents often pose a significant barrier to the use of those services.
Adolescents depend on their families, their communities, schools, health services and their workplaces to learn a wide range of skills that can help them to cope with the pressures they face and make a successful transition from childhood to adulthood. Parents, members of the community, service providers, and social institutions have the responsibility to both promote adolescent development and adjustment and to intervene effectively when problems arise.

During this period many adolescents become addicted to drugs, put themselves at high risk for various types of injuries, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including (HIV) and experience a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. Moreover, they can fail to understand complex concept, or the relationship between behavior and consequences. This inability may make them particularly uvlnerable to sexual exploitation and high- risk behaviors. So, parents and other concerned should play the responsible role to promote adolescent.

Shilpi was only 15 years old when she married Rashid in 2008.Marrying off daughters at an early age is a standard practice for many families living in rural Bangladesh. After her wedding, Shilpi joined a local empowerment group that provides adolescent girls with the tools needed to gradually change cultural practices, particularly those pertaining to early marriage and pregnancy. The group’s activities include discussions on how to most effectively change behavior related to reproductive health as well as one-on-one counseling. It also offers peer- to- peer support and life skills training that help adolescents say no to early marriage. The empowerment group is one of more than 10,000 groups supported by some local Non Government Organizations (NGOs) working all over Bangladesh. These NGO’s work through Canada’s Adolescent Reproductive Health Project which also aims to increase access to quality health services for adolescents. During one of the group sessions, Shilpi came to understand the potentially harmful effects of early marriage and pregnancy.
