The effect of drugs abuse on youths

[Majestic-milf]

If a child is taught how to be discipline the child will know the right things to do.

My point exactly. Sometimes, coming from a Christian home does not necessitate that an individual won't be prone to such devises but it's a matter of self control and morals being taught one.

 From observations, individuals who indulge in these acts are people who are often neglected and emotionally unsafe and as such, become liabilities not just to their selves, families but to the society.

This life can be easy only if we do things that can be helpful to ourselves and not to our detriments, the power in addiction is that it's uneasy to stop it once it has been developed in human, isn't it good to get addicted to the better things of life that will give a better future, good health and longevity of life than starting an investment that will only cut the life short just because of the carelessness that could have been avoided since childhood or before it got over us, discipline is one of the ways to curb this, dont even start at all anything that will be regrettable later in life, drugs kills and shortens life.

The turn down in the world economy is alarming and is leaving the youths with no option than to go more into drugs. In my country as corruption increases,that is how the rate of drugs intake also increases.So many people that have been frustrated by the situation they find themselves will end up involving in drugs thinking it will console them from the harsh situation they are passing through. The government should continue with drug abuse awareness program to sensitize the youths about its bad effect, they should also provide jobs to engage these youths who are jobless and frustrated. Frustration can lead to engagement in drug activities.

I think nothing Created by God is wrong  , everything created in the beginning was created for the comfort and benefit of mankind  , the Holy book also said that we should be modest in all we do, meaning  ,when we over do, use or take things it becomes a problem to us and the society at large,
Eating food is very good but over feeding is dangerous  , just as no drug is bad but when it is taken without a  genuine medical cause and also taken without a doctor's prescription then it becomes an abuse,

The government should ensure that in all learning institution  ,the effects of drug abuse should be enlightened to the students,  every now and then in order to educate them of what would become of them if they abuse drugs.

Government should also enact policies that will ensure that no youth should be idle and create free counseling units to help talk youths out of depression.  Thanks

Drug abuse has been the major problem that leads to crime in the society by youths. Government should have drug abuse programs to sanitize the youths about its effects and implications to their lives. Some of these youth are been influenced by their peer groups into drugs and when they become an addict to it,they do so many evil things just to satisfy their urge. The society is increasing everyday with more youths going into drugs and this cause for alarm. High rate of unemployment and corruption has also added to this problem.

To address the issue of drug abuse and related problems among youth, it is important for the government, communities, and parents to work together to implement policies and programs that educate young people about the dangers of drug abuse, create a supportive environment for young people, and address the underlying causes of drug abuse and related problems. It is also important to involve young people in the design and implementation of programs and initiatives, and to coordinate a sustained and comprehensive effort to address the issue.

Youth drug abuse has become a significant issue for many nations and has turned many of them into criminals. This situation has also resulted in a significant number of youth deaths some major problems that lead the youth to drugs abuse are poor self-image, low religiosity, poor school performance, parental rejection, family dysfunction, abuse, over-controlling by parents, and divorce .In my opinion not only the government can stop the drugs abuse of the youth, the parents can also do as well but the government should give the NDLEA more authority so they can conduct better investigations in society and look into the neighborhood pharmacies because this is typically where mostly the illegal drugs are kept.

I think that we should invest in more education and awareness campaigns, especially in schools, to teach kids about the dangers of drug abuse and how to make healthier choices.

the only way that we can teach people the remedy to stop abusing drugs is 2 law enforcement by bringing military or introducing military to whoever the find drones into it and it will undergo a punishment so I believe that this is only measure that we being young adults can be able the free app is not drugs educational system can teach the advantages of drug abuse but the society would believe it or obey the educational method of knowledge

Nearly 60% of youths are prone to drug abuse and are been influenced by peers group ,who make them indulge in this act ,this makes the youth have a higher ratio of drug addiction ,this is why they dominate a higher population at the correctional centers facilities, mental homes facilities,prison facilities due to drug influence reaction.
There have been increase in the cases of rape ,robbery ,homocides,depression, suicide, gang fight and this cases have shown a large number of youth engagement in this crimes.
Increase in domestic abuse ,marriages are caused by this drugs influence and anger management problem faced by many of this youths ,both male and female gender.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Legalize everything, that's my answer. I must say, I'm neither a lawyer nor a doctor, it's just my personal opinion based on what I read and see with my own eyes. Drug abuse is bad, no doubt about it, but so is alcohol abuse, tobacco abuse and many other things. Legalize drugs and you'll make them less attractive to the youth who always wants to do something illegal. Make broccoli illegal, and the youth will start using it more.

I don't agree that legalizing drugs will make them less attractive to and reduce usage by adolescents. Instead, I believe that a significant factor contributing to adolescent drug use is the new trend in parenting that emphasizes early independence for children, leading them to become rebellious. I think parents should guide their children to avoid dangerous situations, but not to punish them for making decisions that could harm themselves out of ignorance. Research has shown that the majority of drug addictions begin before the age of 25, and legalizing drugs could provide an alternative for them to obtain drugs more easily. Therefore, we need to approach the issue of drug addiction with caution and consider all possible ramifications.

Drugs have many effects so I believe that the efforts of drugs are mini so if we fail to take a proper care of herself will end up on landing for the negative side of it so I believe and what you need to do on Ross is to no exactly the thing that we are doing concerning it and try to educate people or to our visit any longer because I'm using the office what really damaged some people's Life start today

Visit the hospital,prison and cell. You will know what drugs has done to young people, 67% in hospital, prison and police cell are there because of drugs related issues. Drugs causes a lot of damages to the society. Young people are victim of drugs abuse, they take it for so many reasons best known to them. But we must speak against it daily. Because it has cause more harms than good.

Drugs have become a global problem that affects many aspects of life, including health, social and economy. Moreover, the younger generation is a group that is vulnerable to drug abuse. Drug use in adolescence can affect their growth and development, both physically and mentally. many drug users are initially tempted to feel pleasure for a moment or escape from the problems they face. In fact, the effects of drugs can harm physical and mental health.

Adolescence is a problem of finding oneself, when children have unstable feelings. the fact is that drugs can cause damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, and other organs. This damage can be permanent and affect a person's quality of life throughout his life. Drugs also have a negative effect on behavior and social interactions. Well, due to the rise of drug abuse by teenagers, prevention is needed. Prevention can be done through promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitation and repressive efforts. in short, these efforts are not only carried out by the government. at the very least, an anti-drug campaign is needed. also, involving all elements of society, including the role of parents.

Despite the war on drugs, drugs continues to be the problem of our world as we have it.
Sometimes you wonder, what really is the main base that promotes drug trades?

Is it the drug traffickers or
The end users.

The users actually are the market and so long as there is a market, your always going to have people willing to provide yet another rear and high cost product.
The people who are the market believes that drugs is bad but still, why do they still wish it upon themselves or go ahead to do drugs.
Why escape a feeling for a few hours when it's sure to hit you back after some time. It's just unexplainable!

Today in the society you discover children under the age of eighteen years old being involved in all manners of social vices such as drug abuse, sexual harrasment, rape, gambling addiction, stealing and lackadaisical attitude to learn the right thing and develop interest of going to school, they easily got exposed to the bad things of life than the good because they they believe they environment they lived in is their final bus stop in life, but we have the individuals decision to choose how we want our lives to be regardless of our background.

Drugs become they escape right now for the stress and the poverty that youths experiencing right now. Based on news also, some of the youths get involve on drugs not only using it but selling it to for their needs everyday. Abusing drugs has lots of bad effect, one is its affect their mind, they cant think properly on what is wrong and right as they used so much of it. To the point that they can do crime without hesitation, only they will realized once they are in jail and get calm already.

Government has lots of program and warning about drugs, sometimes its still the choice of the youth. I guess what needs to improve is the security, to chase and get those abuser so that others wont do the same thing when they saw the consequences that they may face when they get caught using it.

Environment is the major factor that influences youth to involved in all this social vices.
A child that is grown in a ghetto where everybody smokes and drinks.
Where gambling is seen as a normal thing. Where all manner of hard drugs are taken. That very child will grow up and continue taking all those hard drugs believing that it is a real way of life.
Before he would understand that he is not in the right lane. It would be late for him and by then it might have turned into addiction. Government has a very important role to play by making sure the standard of living of her citizens is okay and also enforcing laws to avoid drug abuse.
