Drugs in
Families
A drug is any chemical you
take that effects the way your body works. Alcohol. Caffeine, aspirin & nicotine are
all drugs. Now at these days, the drugs are consumed a lot, especially are more
consumed by teenagers. The drugs affects not only to the ones who take it, the
drugs also affect all the family. The drugs destroy the family from inside and
later the family will be completely destroyed. There are different types of drugs like:
simulants, depressants, hallucinogens, etc.. As a family, we should stop and
teach the teenagers the consequences of the uses of drugs.
For example, if a teenager is
addicted to drugs there are going to be consequences to the whole family
because the parents will be searching a way to handle the problem and the
parents are going to argue trying to blame one of the both. The teens are going to continue taking drugs
while the parents will be crying and trying to solve the problem. Normally,
this types of problems starts because the family is unstable or the teens need
attention & they don’t have the attention that is needed because usually
the parents are not in home or they are arguing. Another of the main reasons
why the teenagers use drugs is because of bad friends. The teenagers want to be
accepted in a social group, so they will do whatever is necessary for be part
of that social group.
How can we solve the problem?
First, we need to teach the teenagers since they are kids, so they will know
what are drugs, but we need to teach them the causes & the consequences of
using drugs. Also the families need to be more closer and to give more trust to
their children & they need to show that their children can have trust with
them. When a teen makes a mistake the teens need to know that they can trust in
the family, but to achieve that the families need to show them that the
mistakes are normal. Is really important that the families need to give the
teenagers secure that they can trust in them.
To conclude my best advice is
that the families should be more closer between them and they need to show more
trust to the children. Is the only way to prevent the use of drugs.
