    Prevention Of Drug Abuse Essay

    Drug Abuse Essay


    A drug is a substance which may have medicinal, intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects when taken or put into a human body or the body of
    another animal and is not considered a food or exclusively a food. I chose drugs that impact me a lot. It’s a sad fact that drugs are being abused among people
    not only in our country but also it is practiced by others especially the teenagers in our generation maybe because the lack of attention of parents to children or
    the friends were bad influence, but I believe it’s not excuse to be involved in such a situation like this.

    Prevention Of Drug Abuse In Schools Essay


    It is the choice of an individual whether he/she will be influenced by or follow what others do to make their lives miserable. Drug abuse is what I would
    consider a pretty severe problem we have here in the Philippines. There are many different types of drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, and heroine to
    just list a few. These drugs are all fairly simple to produce.

    Teenage drug abuse


    Teenagers use drugs because they want to fit in. No one wants to be the only one not participating. No one wants to be left out.

    So sometimes they make bad decisions, like taking drugs, to cover-up their insecurities. * Because they want to escape or relax. * Because they think it makes
    them seem grown-up. * Because they want to rebel. Sometimes people turn to drugs not so much for themselves, but to make a statement against someone else,
    such as their families or society in general. * Because they are curious. Adolescents are curious about having new experiences. Seeing someone doing drugs
    makes them more curious to know how drugs will make them feel.

    It is important that kids are kept away from this type of environment. * Because of the Peer Pressure * Emotional pressure. Loneliness and depression raise
    emotional pressure, and some teens seek a chemical solution to this problem. * Because they are bored Often-bored-teen are 50 percent more likely than not
    often bored teens to smoke, drink, and use illegal drugs. Teens who can’t talk to their parents are more likely to feel isolated, and use drugs. * Because they
    want attention.

    Ways to prevent drug abuse


    The reasons above should never be an excuse to abuse ourselves. While it’s practically impossible to prevent anyone and everyone from using drugs, there are
    things we can all do to avoid drug and/or alcohol abuse. By sharing this knowledge with those closest to you, you yourself may be able to prevent them from
    doing drugs, too. Good communication with all family members, especially with our parents would be one of the effective ways for us not to sort on taking
    drugs when it comes to dealing with our problems.
