Understanding How to Avoid
Somehow, some humans live by the rule that whatever is prohibited must be worth your while and for addicts, this connotation seem to be true. Whatever reasons you may have however deep it is, it all boils down to one thing – drug abuse is merely escape. Drugs for addicts is an exit door that will lead them to get out of their miseries, pain, confusion and for most teenage drug users – curiosity. Teenagers may not admit it and rationalize their drug use by saying hullabaloo excuses but it really is curiosity that made them try it especially during their first time. They may say they are rebelling from their parents’ uncanny rules but why are they hiding it from them?
Some teenage drug addicts grew up without guidance from parents at all so they resorted to doing drugs. Some were abused and underwent violence and drugs became the only thing that they were able to count on. Especially since the friends they were depending on was the one who gave them and introduced them to drugs in the first place.
Regular kids who goes to rock concerts and raves get exposed to bowls and bowls of different kinds of drugs. They say some forms of music is evil, I’d say its people who let music take the blame of their actions. So if you are an event producer and you really care about the kids attending your events, bombard your event with security, you have the right to report any sightings of any illegal substance. But then again your worried about the profit huh.
At the end of the day the best way to avoid drugs is by NOT avoiding it but EDUCATING teens about it. The more they know about the bed effects, the lesser their excuse to take it. This may even dissuade them from using it. Adults must be more responsible and vigilant about drugs as well, even if those that are doctor prescribed must be kept out of reach. Be sure that you pick up your own prescriptions and be sure that you keep your bottles safely kept.
