EXAMPLE ESSAY OF 'DRUG ABUSE CAUSES'

               Drug abuse is the main causes the decay of teenage morals nowadays. It is affecting to their future life. George Nakashima says “when tress mature, it is fair and moral that they are cut for man’s use, as they would soon decay and return to the earth. Tress have a yearning to live again, perhaps to provide the beauty, strength and utility to serve man, even to become an object of great artistic worth”. This means that teens are very useful to the future of the country, even those are expected to inherit the position today’s leaders. The question here is, what would happen to the young generation if we do not take the responsibility and be more serious about drug abuse? Hence I must say that the causes of drug abuse are they lack of knowledge, peer influence, and lack of love from their parents.

                 The cause is lack of knowledge among teenagers about drug abuse. Teenager not knowing about drugs and the dangers of how it effect on each individual. This is because they do not take seriously the talk held either at school or at their neighbourhood area, not paying attention to the advertising of drug hazards in social media. Besides, parents do not play their role at home. Parents not educating their children to avoid drugs expressly. Then, the school did not conduct a drug dangers campaign. Many teenagers learn something new from school. So, without this campaign they will not get more information about the dangers of drug.

                 The second cause of drug abuse is peer influence. Teens love to try something new that follow the latest trend. They are told that taking drugs can reduce stress. Then, more of teenagers do not know how to distinguish between the positive and negatives things. They do not know the dangers of drug and how it effects to their health, family and future. Next, teenagers are easy to follow with their friends’ negative direction and solicitation. They are more believing their friends because only friends can understand them without thinking about its bad effects.

                  The last causes is lack of love from parents. Teenagers are lack of attention from their parents. Parents are selective towards their children causing them feel set aside and undervalued. This will cause the teenager to dare to do something negative things because there is no restriction from their parents. Then, parents also do not give effective advice to their children. They do not take decisive action against the negative treatment of their children. Furthermore, parents do not control every moment and action of their children at school. Parents never contact the school to know their child’s learning progress. So, this is what will lead the teenagers to the wrong direction and miss the many lessons in school.

                  In a nutshell, lack of knowledge, peer influence, and lack of love from parents are the causes of drug abuse among teenagers. Drug addiction must be prevented before the issue getting worst. New generation should be taught to avoid negative symptoms as they are the future leader of the nation. They are the ones who will carry our vision and mission to a better and more developed society.
