More and more young people are using drugs and alcohol and as a result, breaking the law. What are the causes of this problem? What are some possible solutions?

Using

drugs

has become a major concern among youth since they develop the habit of using them and

consequently

, do not obey the law.

This

essay intends to explain the two main reasons : unemployment and

peer

pressure

and suggests some remedies to overcome

this

issue. Being unemployed is the preponderant reason that youngsters are taking

drugs

.

This

is due to the reason that they do not have any work which makes them unable to support their families in financial terms.

Therefore

, under stress young minds start to take support

drugs

to relieve

this

tension. As an illustration, almost 75% of drug abusers have no job, as evidenced provided by the Mental Health Department, Chennai.

Besides

it,

peer

pressure

plays a role in taking

drugs

. Indeed, while seeing their friends take

drugs

, youngsters are prejudiced that there is nothing wrong with it and later it becomes their habit. Thereby, unemployment and

peer

pressure

are the root causes of taking

drugs

which leads to breaking the law. In relation to

this

, parents should keep an eye on young minds because at

this

age, they are not able to understand the menace of

drugs

. Indeed, guardians should teach them some skills so that they can do jobs which would make them independent and would have less time to meet their friends. In

this

way, they will not use

drugs

.

Moreover

, who are already taking

drugs

, should motivate to head to the de-addiction centre so that they could get rid of the use of

drugs

. The cure rate of de-addiction centres,

for example

, is 80% who never use

drugs

again.

Hence

, by adopting these ways, the addiction to

drugs

could be curbed which would ultimately lead to eliminating the problem of invasion of law. In conclusion, the laws are meant to be broken by drug abusers. The two major causes of unemployment and

peer

pressure

could be overcome by keeping an eye on them and by admitting them to de-addiction centres.
