People in all modern societies use drugs, but today’s youth are experimenting with both legal and illegal drugs, and at an increasing early stage. Discuss the causes and some effects of the widespread drug use by young people. Give some recommendations that can be implemented.

In

this

expeditiously transforming era, the usage of drugs, both legal and illegal, has proliferated by leaps and bounds., especially at an early stage of life. There are many reasons behind

this

mentality change and some claim that parents and other members of the society, often play a negative role for the same. There are various causes which have been leading to

such

an extensive consumption. To accentuate, let us contemplate the most prevalent issue of unhealthy lifestyle. Today, many millennials are unable to handle the work pressure and maintain the appropriate work life balance,

as a result

, they consume anti-depressants and other drugs to relax their mind and body.

Moreover

, the current disease prone society is highly dependent on medicines and other supplements for any type of minor difficulties,

instead

of the natural solutions or remedies.

Although

they might be legal, but the dependency has been inflated. As we rightly say that excess of anything is malicious, overdose of a lot of medicines has awful long term effects.

For instance

, the amplified use of paracetamol for every small issue makes the body, which becomes dependent on the external support, unable to fight for its immunity. Apart from

this

, the use of certain illegal drugs makes the senses slow.

Furthermore

, the memory if people might

also

get harmed, since the effect is directly on the brain nerves. Before

this

problem takes the shape of a hideous monster strict measures should be taken to control it. Parents need to check the activities of their children and mitigate the chance of getting under any bad influence. The young generation should try to make their lives less stressful, so that the dependency on drugs is reduced. Campaigns to spread awareness should be started in schools and colleges,

for example

only hugs no drugs. To summarize, I would say that the burgeoning number of drug addicts is a matter of serious concern, and the major causes relate to our contemporary lifestyle.

This

not only affects the health of individuals, but

also

alters the behaviour.

Hence

, steps should be taken so that

this

prodigious problem is nipped in bed and we move towards a fit society.
