Young people are often influences by their behaviours and situations by other in the same age. This is called peer pressure. Do this disadvantage outweigh the advantages.

The main demerits are that they fall into negative habits such as smoking and drinking with their bad peers. In my opinion, I think that this trend has many more advantages than drawbacks.
