Under the present administration, the whole nation is
marked by an enormous step of change which made people believe in number of
ways. Drug addiction has been classified as the major problem in our society
these days. Individuals who use too much of drugs likely become robots or
zombies. Thus, they are manipulating themselves wrongly for the idea of drugs.
The tolerant use of drugs strenuously indicates one’s ignorance and curiosity.
It is unequivocal that the young ones are the very first victims especially
those who are incapable or unaware of using such. A terrible disaster struggled
even more to these minors that continually destroy their health and academic
performance. Moreover, they become the hands of transporting any forms of drugs
from one person to another. This phenomenon is most likely caused by peer
pressure, acceptance in the society, and thirst of attention. The sense of
belongingness is misunderstood. They consider that by pursuing what their peers
say would make them emerge partly or even equal standing to other.
Even so, there are still people who managed to find way
back to the proper and acceptable behaviors they were before engaging to drug
addiction. These people are the ones who deserve our salutes for the change
they endeavored for. Somehow along the way, this gives hope for the many of us.
Drug abuse couldn’t be called that way if only we know how to use it in
accordance to the proper prescription being given. It can be avoided if the
understanding of its use for too much or too less will be instilled not just in
the classroom instruction and be extended all through the society, but most
importantly be taught by the parents to their children at home.
The so called CHANGE has come verily and inevitably.
Education indeed plays a big role in solving this forceful problem. We should
place ourselves as means in sharing to others the effects and negative impacts
of drugs to human, to help one learn and get rid of it. It is time for us to
let our voice be an instrument in servicing our beloved country, Philippines.
Let as make one solid holding hand for a better and safer country. — Mitch Atupan, Contributor PhilRepublicNews
