In the ongoing era, the whole globe is fighting and making their hard efforts to eradicate the drug menace. Drug menace, or I can say drug curse, is everywhere throughout the globe.
In our society, there are two kinds of people. Number one are those who are kind, like your parents, your siblings, your teachers, your relatives, and your friends. Such people are the nation builders and society defenders. They always have concern regarding their nation and society. Such people always come out agitated against any evil in society and fight for the societal causes.
People as your parents: Parents are your real heroes and your well-wishers. Always follow your parents; I hope you will be among the great ones.
People as you teachers: It is true that after your parents, teachers are your true well-wishers and always have something best for you. Your teachers always want to see you at the top in any successive field, your teacher wants you to see more successful than they are.
People as your siblings: Your siblings are your blood bonds; they never want your destruction in any situation.
Who are the bad and our enemies?
Sometimes it hurts, but it is real that our enemies are very close to us. They never care for you, they never have any concern for you, they always want your destruction, and they always keep you hanging when you have a bad time.
Where is the home of bad people? Such people have no unique identification. Such people will be roaming here and there and are among your society. Such people are the nation destroyers and are the cancer for the society.
How can we identify and punish such people? When anyone offers you an illicit drug-like substance like cigarettes, alcohol, brown sugar, cannabis, etc., such people can be identified easily, and behind the bars is their deserving place. Such people should never be forgiven under any circumstances without teaching them a great lesson.
Such people are arrogant, dishonest, selfish, and always harming society, and their final consequences are dreadful.
How do our young buds get involved in drugs?
At any age, in any environment, your buds can be involved in drug curses, like at school level, college level, in friendship circles, etc.
Most importantly, we have noticed their routine habits, like their sleeping style, eating habits, behavior, temperament, etc.
Whenever any parent or teacher caught any untoward or unusual behavior, they should have their eyes on his or her every task.
There are parents who are ignoring and avoiding the usual behavior of their children and regret it after a gap of time.
Drug peddlers should be identified and informed to nearby police, where they get the treatment they deserve and can booked under different sections.
One thing is very impressive and appreciable: Police authorities seizing the property of drug peddlers and booking them under law. Such people are the cancers and storms for the society and nation.
To eradicate the drug menace, it is everyone’s responsibility to identify people who are related to it and should be punished under law.
How can we eradicate this menace?
Parents should provide their children a little budget for their routine tasks. Counseling is very important. The concerned department should come forward and let the people know its harmful effects on their health and hygiene. Never ask children to get cigarettes for them from shop. It will make a huge impact on their behavior towards such. And motivate them to do so. Never smoke cigarettes in front of children and always tell them the dreadful consequences such things.
