There are some reasons that explain an increase in youth

drug

abuse, it is possible to cite the coolness young people feel when using prohibited drugs and political issues related to control of traffic. As consequence, many of these young spoil their future. The ways to face

this

problem can reside in education and a more rigid

drug

control by the government. In

I will present two ideas to combat

this

problem. As mentioned above, one common reason for youngsters to start using drugs is the feeling of transgression. They feel that consuming drugs, especially those forbidden by adults and by law, is a way to show themselves more bold and strong. To avoid

this

it is important to conscientize them. Education is a special tool, to achieve

this

goal. We need to approach

this

issue in

such

a way that children, teenagers and young adults feel comfortable to take part in conversations and share ideas about the subject. I know some families where parents talk freely with their children about

this

to construct a confident relationship with no tabus or limits. Schools have more barriers to implement

such

an open conversation but I believe

this

is a great way to face

this

trend. Another cause of

drug

abuse in youth comes from outside, it is easy to get access to different drugs. Many people believe that

drug

dealers are the problem, but the real issue is the source. Great producers and distributors around the world are safe while small sellers are arrested and condemned. Governments must be more rigid to detect the illegal income of these drugs. If the source is compromised, the small points of distribution will no more exist and local

drug

dealers, who in many situations are poor people who do not represent a danger to our society, will no more exist. To summarize we need to invest in conscientization through education, and a rigid control to avoid

drug

incomes into our country. The presence of drugs in young people's lives is a cause of disrupted families, erased futures and precocious death. Not only official action must be taken but we as a society must look to

this

issue with no prejudice.
