First, studies that seek to explore and measure the level of knowledge and understanding of the dangers of drugs among adolescents. It is concluded that every activity that provides information on the dangers of drugs to adolescents results in an increase in knowledge and understanding. Second, a study that seeks to explore the form of providing counseling to adolescents about the dangers of drugs. The focus of the study in this article is the factors causing the lack of knowledge of adolescents related to the dangers of drugs and the form of advocacy and counseling on the dangers of drugs for adolescents. This study uses qualitative research that produces descriptive data. The results showed that there are several factors causing the lack of knowledge of adolescents related to the dangers of drugs, namely, the provision of understanding related to the dangers of drugs that have not been evenly distributed, an unhealthy friendship environment and the level of education of parents.
