Drug abuse among youth;cause,effect and control
79A drug can be said to be any substance use in medicine.It can also be said to be any substance taken by some people to get certain effect, such as happiness and excitement.Driving from these definitions above, drugs can be classified into two categories;1]The soft Drug e.g antibiotics and analgesics. and 2]The hard drugs e.g cocain, marijuana heroin e.t.c. Consequently, a drug addict is said to be someone whose life has become dependent on drugs,hence drug abuse.
cause of drug abuse among youth; There are two primary causes of drug abuse among the youths.These are 1] peer pressure and 2] Depression.
Peer pressure;- youth associates with differents types of people otherwise known as friends. through the pressure from these friends a child they tend to have a taste of these drugs and once this is done ,they continue to take it and becomes addicted to it at the longrun.
Deptession;-Another primary cause of drug abuse is depression.when certain things happen to someone that is considered vey sad and dishearthning ,the person started thinking of the best way to become happy once more hence the use of hard drugs will come in.This later on tirns to an habit,hence drug abuse.
Another major cause of drug abuse is said to be the rate of unemployment among the youth.Furthermore,drugs can be said to be abuse when youth dont keep to the prescribe dosage and a continuos use of a particular drug for a long time without doctors approval.This kind of abuse is associated with soft drugs.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE MORE EFFORT TO TACKLE THIS PROBLEMS BY CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITY TO THE YOUTH.
Just what i needed cos i'm working on substance abuse among youth as my project,so this write up has helped.i'm going to give my suggestion illustrating Abraham Maslow heirachy of needs.He said that on the heirachy of needs,a higher level cant be achieved if the lower is not provided,so physiological needs like warmth,shelter,good housing,etc should first be provided for the youth by parent and government,also safety needs such as security,stability etc then belongingness and love,having gotten all this by the primary provider which are the parent and the secondary provider which are the society and government,then the youth will be able to desist from social ills such as substance abuse and then move higher to other needs like self actualization,cognitive needs transcedensce needs etc,which will make them inturn help others to achieve self actualization in life cos they themselves have achieved this and then appreciate the parent,society and government at large by giving them back what has been provided or given to them.this will make our youth flee from whatever luring or attraction and pressure to substance abuse.thank you.

Our religious leaders should take d message to their follower that abuse of drug is a sin.
South african youth is reali exposed 2 dangerous harmful drugs nd i believe dat dis article can be very useful 2 them,it is unfortunate dat they dont even have an interest in google#sad
People who do/sell drugs to the youth should stop because this is causing youth to becomes criminals in the country and average of stealing is too high in south africa.
if there is anything that leads to damnation of human beings, its drug abuse
Govt should help us 2 create more job 4 we youth

THIS IS A HELPING MATTERS, VIEWING THE RATE OF MAD YOUTHS IN NIGERIAN STREETS, A WORD IS ENOUGH TO A WISE.
Our bodies should be kept safe for the respective purpose it had been made for, it should'nt be a trash bin where all sort of degenerative substances are harbored. We should come to realization dat even if the the effects of our malplay is not otherwise devastative during our youth days, the fate of our older days is being probed. To every sown seed, there is an harvest. You would'nt want to have it the other way, will you? Re-examing ur actions before making a move.
Thanx
Welldone God bless u.
