Palma mourns: 15-year-old dead – WhatsApp groups, pills and the unanswered question of responsibility

Answer

Why are teenagers in Palma vulnerable to dangerous substances?

The risk is not only about drugs themselves, but also about how easily substances can circulate within peer groups and through digital chats. Low prices, curiosity, pressure from friends and the sense that 'everyone is doing it' can all lower caution. Prevention works best when young people can speak openly and get practical help, not just warnings.
