Drug addiction
Either is a club ,complex,
friends birthday or any occasion what we see the most is Drug addicter. Drug
addiction is a major problem that has been increasing immensely among our
society today. Drug addictions can only hinder or restrain us from
accomplishing goals or dreams in life. People sometimes feel they are too
bright, too powerful, too much in control to become addictive. Addiction can
trap anyone. It can lead to harming ones body, causing problems in family
structure, and contribute to the delinquency in society. The sooner people seek
help for drug addiction problems, the more chances they have of gaining control
of their life once again. However, abstinence is the safest way to live a
longer and healthier life. We are greatly influenced by the people around us.
Today one of the number one reasons of teenage drug usage is peer pressure.
Peer pressure represents social influences that affect us. It can have a
positive or a negative effect, depending on what path one follows. There is
direct and indirect pressure that might influence a person’s decision in using
drugs. Direct pressure might be when a person is offered to try drugs. Indirect
pressure might be when a person is around people using drugs and sees that
there is nothing wrong with using drugs. Adolescents who use drugs seek out
peers who also use and, in turn, are influenced by those peer. A person might
also try drugs just to fit in a social group, even if the person had no
intentions of using drugs. Adolescents can try out different roles and observe
the reactions of their friends to their behavior and their appearance. One
might do it just to be considered “cool” by the group. There are also
other reasons why people might turn to using drugs. Emotional distress, such as
personal or family problems, having low self-esteem, like loosing a close one,
loosing a job, or having no friends, and environmental stress are all possible
factors to causing one to use drugs. Well, i just wonder how can drugs
lower our depression,pain or sorrow.
