Drug Addiction?

I am taking a class on Social Problems and we have to do a project on a certain social problem in our society. The topic I chose is drug addiction. I see this as a pretty bad social problem in the united states. I am trying to get some ideas on what causes drug addiction. What makes people want to try drugs. I know a lot of people try drugs out of curiousity or boredom or maybe stress. I don’t know because I do not use drugs. Anyways, any ideas or suggestions or anything please feel free.

people use drugs to escape reality.
Their lives are not what they would like them to be so they look to external stimulants to take them away from their real lives. They don’t know themselves very well and they are NOT comfortable in their own skin.

If you know what some addicts lives were like as children and often as adults – then you might understand why they would want to “self medicate” or escape.
