People in all modern societies use drugs, but today's youth are experimenting with both legal and illegal drugs, and at an increasingly early age. Some sociologists claim that parents and other members of society often set a bad example. Discuss the causes and some effects of widespread drug use by young people in modern day society. Make any recommendations you feel are necessary to help fight youth drug abuse.

There is no doubt that the substance abuse has been surging in the recent years. Some specialists argue that the social setup and family are the culprits of

this

problem. In my opinion,

however

, I consider, lack of parental guidance and peer group pressure are the two fundamental triggering factors of illicit use of drugs. By adopting certain strategies, the issue can be effectively tackled. On the one hand, addiction is a social evil

the result of poor family ties.

For example

related crimes.

For instance

, conducting a regular interactive section for the youth to resolve their addiction related issues and how to rehabilitate them if they wished so.

Similarly

drug

related problems have been increasing due to poor family support and advice, timely actions can eliminate the gravity of difficulties effectively.
