"Why Drug Abuse is Rampant"

By Karen Nodalo

In almost all over the countries across the world, drug trafficking issues are dealt with and are the most difficult case to resolve. Every year, the rate of drug abuse cases and trafficking has been mounting from its number. Be it young or old, it chooses no one. No matter how heavy punishments were implemented, still the government found it to be very impenetrable to stop such case.

The government finds remedy to this matter. Most drug cases involve the minor entity especially the out-of-school youth so they find it very hard to trigger. They lack knowledge and education for the use of prohibited drugs. Young minds’ curiosities are harder to comprehend and figure out. It is hard to cease because as long as there are hidden resources, still it spreads out unnoticed. Drug issues are immediately to be solved because it is an auxiliary in bringing out other pertinent and relevant cases such as murder and slaughter cases.

Annual news about increasing number of addiction continues to inflate. How do we stop these cases? The public and the media have been very immune to hearing this inexorable problem and it appears to be not so very surprising at all. The larger it gets the larger chances of inviting associated tribulations not only in the community but for the whole.

Drug prevention programs or anti-drug campaigns have been implemented and focused on but still, it is to no avail. Minor children who are in sheer addiction are subjected to isolation and rehabilitation. Why do these children involve to these problems at such a young age? The main reason for that matter is because they lack attention and guidance at home and the society. Treating children is a sensitive and crucial part. Every little change in the environment catches their attention and draws out to what they think is right. Peer pressure comes along with losing family ties that makes them feel unwanted in the community. Discrimination is also another factor that affects them emotionally. When they feel indifferent from the other youngsters especially those with a higher standard of living, they tend to seek attention resulting to mental, social and emotional distractions.

The law has been fatherly conducting reforms to sweep this case. The implication of this will initiate analysis and observation. Hidden plantations of prohibited drugs are not easy to locate and stopping them to manufacture evenly is a complicated task.

There is an underlying problem to resolving this issue. It has been found out that some law enforcers violate their rules. Implementing these laws is useless if they are the ones who abide the rules they make. Some use it to make money while some intend for their personal pleasure. Serious treatment to this problem should be treated to secure the youth from incongruity.

If such problems could not be resolved, so much for the underlying cases that goes with it. To resolve this, further observance and keenness is required not only for the institution but for the family which is called the training grounds of every person.
