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.

The first thing most people do when falling sick is to take OTC

drugs

to ease their sickness. Nowadays, taking

drugs

for purposes other than medical prescriptions is becoming popular in

society

, especially among teenagers.

According to

researchers,

this

habit is mainly influenced by bad examples from

parents

and other individuals in the community. Before trying to tackle

such

an issue, we need to understand the reasons for

drug

abuse, and the effects of

this

phenomenon on modern

society

. We often hear of famous celebrities passing away from

drug

abuse or mistakenly taking extra tablets with the hope of relieving

stress

related to work or more personal problems like relationships. Increased life demands and responsibilities come with a price. Many young adults these days tend to use

drugs

when they feel stressed.

However

,

this

may lead to unfortunate results.

For instance

, frequent intake of certain tablets can become an addiction and might reflect negatively on one product, and in turn, on

society

.

Besides

stress

, many pharmaceutical corporations are taking advantage of

this

phenomenon by exploiting the market with a variety of

drugs

that can be easily obtained from any pharmacy in the area.

Therefore

, many teenagers are getting exposed to

such

pills whether during school days or during summer break when partying. Many communities in recent decades suffer from increased crime rates

due to

the spread of illegal

drugs

among youth. Criminal organizations are utilizing kids and establishing a network of distribution to sell their illegal products like weapons, stolen items and

drugs

.

This

has dramatically reduced the safety environment of

such

areas.

In addition

to high crime rates, many people find themselves unemployed

due to

the misuse of

drugs

. It is common for many organizations to do periodic

drug

testing that targets employees in order to keep the firm reputation. That being the case, it is important to

stress

the long-term effects of

drug

abuse in

society

and how can criminals thrive in

such

societies creating an unfriendly atmosphere and many people losing their jobs. Many measures can be implemented with the aim of decreasing

drug

intake among the young population.

Firstly

,

parents

need to build a truthful relationship with their children for easy communication.

Additionally

,

parents

must understand the risks of using OTC

drugs

in front of their kids, as

this

might encourage them to use these pills.

Secondly

, policymakers should address

this

issue soon by setting new regulations to target corrupt

drug

-selling companies by introducing huge fines or even imprisonment if they continue their illegal practices. In Summary,

drug

usage is a common phenomenon ,especially in young generations. Increased life demands can lead to

stress

which is a pathway for bad habits of

drug

intake

while

pharmaceutical firms are taking advantage of

this

habit by selling to the public.

As a result

, communities suffer from a high number of offenders and decreased job opportunities. To tackle the issue, family bonding between

parents

and children should be encouraged and decision-makers fight off corrupted corporations.
