The effect of drugs abuse on youths

[BADecker]

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.

...

But it's mostly from the kids copying their parents who use and abuse medical drugs. Often the parents let the kids have some of their prescription drugs. Kids: If parents can do it, why can't we? And this goes on and on to the illegal drugs.

[Adbitco]

First anyone caught selling such high drugs should be jailed secondly Government should passes a judgement against anyone caught taking it or involved dealing with drugs. State and Provence should sanitized there region with thorough class and meet up talking about the effects on drugs consumption on our daily basis, parents at home should also take it as a lifestyle to check on the children basically ensure they makes good friends.
Its friends who keeps introducing hard drugs to each others but in a way such action is being taken it will reduce criminality, sexual harassments etc. Maybe if they found out that Government jailed Mr. A for Drug addicts or on Sexual harassment they will definitely change. Deeply inside, our parents have important rule to play and as has to be blame, most parents are so careless about their children commonly in West African country where they go for clubbing without properly questioning and monitoring.

I think one of the major ways drugs gets to spread is by peer pressure. I tell you, no matter what one might be going through, if you weren't already exposed to drugs, your most likely to go through it without any of it but, having a pal that does drugs and seems to handle it good even while going through the same pressure as you do, it puts you in line to being an addict.
It happens in almost every field. Take the raster man for an example. Those in this line of music are often seen thing weed and out of misconception, it seems like a trademark for the ganja man.

Peer pressure does a lot in its promotion and it could also do a lot in solving it. Perhaps a pal could bug there pals on the menace and the damages these could result in there life. I think a repeated talks on this and the strick laws from the government on individuals caught with drugs could come by some effect of reduction.

Drug abuse has caused more harm than good. But the greatest challenge now is that most government officials are highly involved in drug trafficking making it very difficult to check. But the youths needs to be oriented about the effect of drug abuse and parents must ensure they monitor their children to ensure that they are not greatly influenced by negative peer group.

[jrrsparkles]

Fire the corrupted officers who is allowing all these things can be the long lasting solution because they take money and let the dealers to sell the drugs on parties,etc so we need the straight forward higher officials who is against all such activities and also in the political region so there will be no interventions for their disciplinary activities against the officials.

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.

Following the same line of reasoning as you do, do you think countries that have laws that are tolerant of drug use or do not criminalize consumption have lower rates of consumption among young people? I don't have official statistics, but of course I don't think so, just as I don't think criminalizing drug use will solve the problem either.
The solution, in my opinion, is to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse, through campaigns in the media and by supporting campaigns carried out by associations and non-governmental organizations. These campaigns should target all segments of society, including parents, as they are responsible for the activities of their children in adolescence and youth. Also, lessons about the dangers of addiction can be included in the secondary and university stages of all disciplines.
Houses of worship can also provide assistance by educating parents and advising them on how to act wisely if they discover that a child is using narcotics.

Correct,  most of our government officials are into drig business that's is why drugs can't be abolished in our society,  their is a country that their presidential elections will be coming up soon. One of the presidential aspirant is a drug lord, this is something everyone knows and before he has be holding a top political position in the state.

Youths and drugs are like five and six these days,the rate at which our youths are taking drugs now is something that the government need to do something about.ThankGod for the measure at which government have handled some,because there are some drugs now that are very expensive,and the customers that do consume it have given up on buying it because if it's cost.

But for other ones that are still being consumed largely,if the government should increase the prices like that,there is every tendency that the rate at which people consume it will reduce,it will be only the rich that will be able to take it.

Government won't stop drugs in the society. Drug plants in some  countries serves as natural resources to them,  this plants can be use in making many other things. As far as drug exist as plants and something natural,  the society will have access and make use of it for different purposes.

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

Drugs abuse can be the causes to many detriments in human health, social vises and many moral misconduct that's affecting the society date, this is why parents are to be very careful in training the moral upbringings of their wards at home, because many marital challenges and society disturbances erupted from the ooor upbringings from various home amd such they constitute nuisance to add up the the challenges facing the community, we must train our children and advise our youths right, because i fish can only bends while it is still fresh, once it dried up then there's no remedy to that.

You are absolutely right. Some officers are also contributing towards to the movement of hard drugs. They probably takes bribe and allow the flow of drugs from the dealer to the consumer. No doubt, Drugs have basically done more harm to the youth. It is known as the cause of some health issues such as brain damage, reduces appetite, stroke etc. However, how do a country intent to produce good leader, if it youth keep engaging in hard drugs? We have to start creating awareness about the effect of hard drugs.

Drug abuse is causing more harm on youth than good and if this continues with the government intervention or parental care and support then in the next few years coming the youth will be more of miserable set of people sitting on the seat of different government positions causing harm on the new generations coming. We need to avoid anything drugs so we might stay safe all the time.

  Yes, I think drugs can cause harmful for every youth once the abuse of using drugs. But they never think on what they take in every day like any supplement , vitamins, and maintenance that still contains drugs. Only youth who'd  like to commit themselves into a drug addict and encounter a crime. There's nothing about drugs it's about people how to use it.

One thing people don't actually know about drugs,  people think is something they can take for the first time and it won't have influence over them, so immediately they take it foe the first time it seems so difficult for then to stop it. Drugs comes first in their life , that they would prefer to to buy drugs first than to get foods or medicines. 

[Crpyto hunter]

What causes drugs abuse to the youth it the level of understanding they've with one another,
they way the keep their company in other to have freedom in the society orh in the community, it comes when different kinds of friends come in the society orh education standard were parent are allowing their children to to live with someone the do no, this will come as a result of the child been drug by friends,
Environment due spoil the youth, a child who will come out from a good home will see him/her self been in a bad environment that will lead to spoil the carrier, and some of them due drug without having food to eat🤒🤒🤒, it might cause from the parents who will do this in front of their childrens, when it above the standard they might take it comes to be a harmful to the body,  that may lead to robbery and many other things they will not even no.
That why the government have to stop it because people who do the research comes out to tell it affect the body and the organ.

I'll say it again and again: peer groups have a significant influence on drug use. These have occurred to a close friend and I have seen them several times. Your behavior in society is always determined by the peer group of friends you associate with. My friend had issues in school and had to switch to a different line of study from ours, so he stopped moving with us. His new pals in the other department were drug users who had an influence on him and transformed him; as a result, he became addicted to drugs and came to view them as a normal way of life. Since we share a street, he can't take them once we get home together during breaks, but because of his addiction, we weren't as close as we once were at this time. But now that he has finished school and no longer has access to those substances, he is living a normal life, and we are getting along fine again.

Peer group is a big influence why youth take drugs . It is impossible to be friends with some set of  people who take drug and not join them to take drugs. Peer group is influence,  then environment can also contribute when their is no good parental care for children.

We should talk more to our children, and in friendly way, not in parent-child manner

The way parents should approach our kids matters alot when advising them to do right thing. Most children don't take take advise when it is coming in hard way or rough tone. Children tend accept fact and accept when are not hard on them. Parents needs to learn and understand to make children agree to facts.
