More and more young people are using drugs and alcohol these days. What are the causes of this problem? What are some possible solutions?

These days, youth from diverse backgrounds are getting addicted to a plethora of intoxications

such

as alcoholic beverages and marijuana. The kids are unaware of what they are getting into and

as a result

, it would only bring devastating consequences to them.

To begin

with, the main problem for it is the distance between parents and their kids.

Firstly

, when the children are staying in hostels they are not under the supervision of their families.

Secondly

, there are a plethora of chances for them to get inspired by others with similar habits.

Consequently

, they tend to get habituated to those things.

For instance

, a cousin of mine had an identical scenario. He was staying in a flat with his friends with similar addictions.

Thereafter

, he too learned them and

subsequently

, he started performing worse in the exams. So, others do have an impact on one's own life.

However

, one practical solution for it is teaching them to lead an ethical lifestyle from their childhood.

Next,

they must be made aware of the results of that behaviour but it should still come from one's own mind and only

then

they would prohibit

such

routines. To illustrate it, Ajay a friend of mine was taught to be good, right, and ethical from his

only by his elders. Today, he is known for his right attitude towards others and

he does not have any ill habituations as well.

Thus

, guidance plays a crucial role. In summary, it is possible to be introduced to

such

things from a wide range of sources but a person should look after himself and discourage those.

Furthermore

, elders should have a keen observation of their offspring. It would

then

yield a better life for the young.
