4. Easy access to substances within the school.

Explanation:

Many reasons can lead a student to commit the abuse of harmful substances that will cause serious problems to the health, academic life and even the personal life of students.

Among these problems the most common are the result of an unsatisfactory family life and the pressure to fit in groups. Unsatisfactory family life can cause a lot of sadness and neglect in the lives of young people, who will use the substances as an escape from that environment. On the other hand, the pressure to fit in can make young people use the substances to look cool and to have a sense of belonging.
