Say No to Drugs

Drugs are all harmful substances that can damage health and can lead to addiction for its users.
Currently, drug abuse among the younger generation is increasing. The rise of deviations in the behavior of the
younger generation can endanger the survival of this nation in the future. Because youth as a generation that is
expected to become the nation’s successor, are increasingly vulnerable to being devoured by nerve-destroying
addictive substances. So that the young man can not think clearly. As a result, the generation of hopes for a
strong and intelligent nation will only be a memory.
Many factors cause a person to use drugs, especially for teenagers. The main factor that causes
teenagers to use drugs is because they experience an identity crisis. They are looking for their identity that they
have not met so they are easily tempted by drugs. Another factor is the family factor. Many families do not pay
attention to their children, especially for families with broken homes. These teenagers do not know that drugs
can have a bad impact on users.
In terms of health, drugs can harm the organs in our bodies. Substances contained in drugs can
damage the brain and kidneys if consumed in excess. Drugs can cause hallucinatory effects that can harm the
nerves. In addition, drug use can also make users depressed, causing many serious physical health problems
that can arise as a result of its use, such as impaired liver function, impaired respiratory function, blockage of
blood vessels, dehydration, brain nerve damage, and eventually can cause death.
In addition to physical disorders, the psychological condition of a drug addict will also be disturbed.
Drug addicts will always feel depressed, lack self-confidence, depression, cannot think clearly, and tend to hurt
themselves, even to the point of committing suicide. This condition will get worse when they are under pressure
from the surrounding environment.
It’s true, drugs can make us hallucinate and relax, but it’s all just an illusion. The problem will still be
there and even more complicated when we run to drugs. It is time for us to really rise from this ignorance and
fight the spread of drugs, especially in the world of education. I think one method that we can all apply is
awareness of how bad we are when we take drugs and what side effects occur when we use drugs. In addition,
we should also be good at choosing friends, be it friends at school or at home. After all, there is no reason to
taste drugs and for those of you who are addicted, you can go to a doctor or come to a psychiatrist. As a young
generation, we should avoid drug abuse and do not become victims of abuse and drug addicts. For that, let’s
study well and don’t waste our youth, reach for a future without drugs.
