Abstract: The paper shows what teenagers’ relationships are risky for them to be taken in by drug use and what are protective. The study is based on the poll of 2818 learners of high schools in the city of Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk region. The data were processed by a method of logistical regression analysis. Threatening factors include easy access to drugs, indulgent attitude toward drug consumption, participation in informal groups, conflicts with teachers, parents’ smoking and drinking, etc. The risks are higher for urban teenagers. The scientific novelty of the study is its viewpoint from the position of pressure imposed on learners by their social setting.
