The rise in drug addiction among young school and college students is a pressing concern worldwide. Several factors contribute to this alarming trend.

Peer pressure, curiosity and the desire to fit in or escape emotional pain drive many young people to experiment with drugs. Easy access to substances, the ever-increasing social media influence and the lack of awareness about the dangers of addiction also play significant roles.

To combat this social bane, practical solutions are needed from the public, teachers and politicians. Parents have an important role to play it solving this perennial social issue. Parents must engage in open conversations with their children, fostering trust and monitoring their activities. Teachers can integrate drug education into school curricula, promoting awareness and healthy coping mechanisms. Politicians must implement and enforce stricter laws regulating drug availability and distribution rather than engaging in mere rhetorics and hollow promises.

In addition, community-based initiatives, such as counseling services and support groups, can provide vulnerable youth with guidance and resources. A collaborative effort from all stakeholders is essential to address the root causes of drug addiction and ensure a safer, healthier future for young generations.

The earlier we address this serious concern, the better it will be for students, citizens and society at large.
