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.

In the contemporary modern world, people use

drugs

to cure diseases

however

, the younger generation tries to misuse these

drugs

at a very early age

while

sociologists blame

parents

and society as motivators for it.

This

can happen

due to

a

lack

of parental guidance in the modern busy world and a

lack

of

knowledge

of the youth about the harmful

effects

of these

drugs

.

Hence

, proper parental involvement in their offspring's life and better education in these aspects from schools can mitigate

this

problem a lot. First and foremost, the main cause of

this

, is the

lack

of parental care for their

children

,as most people are busy with their own work

due to

hectic lifestyles. Other than that , the

lack

of proper

knowledge

of the harmful

effects

of these

also

facilitates youth to experiment with them and involuntarily end up with addictions.Specifically, owing to the fact that guardians are busy with their own work ,

children

choose to live with their friends, and their work is not guided by an adult ,

group suggests experiencing a new drug, all others would do the same.

For instance

,

according to

the police spokesman in Sri Lanka, drug dealers target school

children

in city areas to build up their customer bases

due to

their non-supervision by their

parents

.

Thus

,

this

is a burning problem in today's context.

Therefore

to alleviate

this

issue

parents

should preserve time to be with their kids ,and schools should be actively involved in

this

by educating the students about the harmful

effects

of these at a very young age. When

parents

are with their kids they can easily tackle the motivators of their

children

to these

drugs

and if students have proper

knowledge

they themselves can reject these.

For instance

, in countries like Colombia now grade 1 students are taught about

drugs

like cocaine ,and heroin and their harmful

effects

at their schools.

According to

their national police report that had reduced the number of child drug addictors by 20% . As

such

, proper measures can reduce the bad

effects

of it up to a great extent. In conclusion, the younger generation can addicted to or misuse

drugs

due to

lack

of parental supervision and

knowledge

but changing it to proper adult guidance and educating

children

about these

drugs

at a very young age can reduce the devastating

effects

of it .
