---------------Youths and drugs

 

To answer that u have to do drugs! Have u ever considered the psychological

effect of smoking, alcohol and narcotics? Most of these stuff are

barbiturates (look it up in a medical dictionary)and stimulants(like coffee,

only 30 times stronger).
Alcohol numbs ur senses and not just ur five senses but ur emotional senses

aswell. A normal (sober) person would have thousands of thoughts circling

around in his head... and when those thoughts r about bills, responsibilities

and other reasons for concern, ur neuro-system goes overload. Alcohol stops

the flow of neural info thereby inhibiting the senses , both physical and

emotional.
A normal teen (pre-teens may also be included) has a great deal of things to

think about and considering their growing age their hormones only fuel the

anxieties that they have about school, home, boyfriend/girlfriend,family

expectations,the upcoming world cup,the future,etc. It shouldn't be

surprising that a person wouldn't consider shutting down his brain for a few

seconds for some very simple Peace Of Mind.
But the run to get some peace also brings with it the devils share of

addiction, disease,bad company, conviction and reduced libido.
Also take into a/c the restless nature of the youth.Most of them wont opt

for prayer and meditation as viable options.Even though the results take a

while to come to effect, in the long run its more beneficial as it doesn't

bring with the above mentioned 'devil's share' side-effects.
Increased drug abuse would also be an indication of failure on the part of

society to sustain a balanced and understanding relationship with the youth,

who are naturally full of energy and emotions. Its natural to experiment but

its also necessary to have a responsibility to ones self and STOP when u know

what u r getting into. Awareness and an understanding friend are key to

avoid falling into the pit of addiction.

Society has a responsibility to its fellow human beings and each one of us

is a part of society, no matter how infinitesimally small.
