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

To begin

, nowadays young people tend to use both legal and illegal drugs and

this

has become a huge social problem

due to

many reasons. Mostly drugs are chemical substances that can induce our brain cells and body functions suddenly. First and foremost, one of the causes could be the age. Young people are at a very fragile age where they tend to experiment and experience new things.

While

it is a natural behaviour,

this

may cause damage to their entire lives.

Furthermore

, some sociologists argue that parents and society should take responsibility as they sometimes set bad examples for the youth.

For instance

might eventually end up being an abuser himself.

Additionally

,

this

has become a prominent social matter at present.

Due to

drug

abuse

, crimes involving youth

such

as rapes, murders and etc. have

also

gone up.

Instead

of attending schools, some are likely to spend the best time of their lives at treatment camps.

Moreover

, many teens have been diagnosed with sexually transmittable diseases like AIDS.

Also

,

as a result

of severe

drug

abuse

, many health issues occur like mental instability, childhood pregnancy and eventually death.

However

, in order to overcome

this

problem, regulations and laws on both legal and illegal drugs must be tightened and should be regulated properly.

Furthermore

, there should be awareness programs for both parents and teens.

Also

, parents and teachers should pay more attention to their children and guide them

accordingly

.

To conclude

, at present widespread

drug

abuse

by youth has become a major social

as well as

a health problem. Even though
