DRUGS IN AFRICA

Drugs are one of the many things that have a negative outcome on young people. They influence youth to commit many dim-witted actions that oftentimes lead to distress, pain, or even death. Youths have developed a certain character or habit toward Drug and alcohol consumption. According to my findings the rate of Drug users in the world today is alarming, in the past few years Drugs were only consume and used in the western world due to their ways of living mostly especially idolizing their role models. Drug and Alcohol is being use today by youth in developing their confident and trying to belong to a certain kind of class in other to boost their ego.

According to my research from www.ncadd.org “about 10.4 million Americans and Africans between the ages of 12-20 had at least one drink last month; of these 6.8 million were Core drinkers." core drinkers are those that consume five or more drinks at one occasion. Yet, youth often times have reasoning for their consumption of these hazardous drugs and beverages. As the saying goes, "for every action there is a reason as well as a cause that leads to an effect." There are many reasons that youth turn to drugs, that consist of but are not limited to, peer pressure and even rejection from their families. Most Africa parent lack the parental skill to bring up their children, during my search in Africa have come to discover that the youths do this things as fun and its used as a way of showing up to their peer how smart and Nigger hood they are, why some are the effect of parental crisis others are being brought up by money, their parents or caretakers hardly provide enough time for them all in the name of gotten busy or chasing after wealth which have resulted negatively in the life of their children today.

The effects of taking drugs can lead to devastating results such as seizures, heart attacks, short-term memory, rape, disease, disgrace

and   even worse death.

Many youth have been confronted with some form of peer pressure, whether it was good or bad. Peer pressure has a huge effect on whomever it may be enacted upon; however, youth oftentimes are the ones to give into it. Most times they desire to be a part of the crowd; they cannot deal with the thought of being left out, or being a loner and this are the part where parent needs to pay close attention to the youth. Youth desire to feel some type of connection, to be accepted and appreciated. They long for attention by others, In Africa most especially this love for belonging have lead many youths to their early graved by getting involved in cultism and other criminal act in other to feel protect or belonging to be active.

 According to researches youth give into peer pressure at one time or another." They fear being rejected by others, or sometimes just don't know how to handle the situation. For these reasons, many youth are influenced to take drugs as well as consume alcoholic beverages. They feel that this will allow them to seem more grown-up. Youths also feel that drugs or alcoholic beverages will give them a sense of peace or calmness. It allows them to forget about their troubles and worries of live and this is where upbringing matter the most, parent have forgotten their religious duties in the family and have giving the family over to the devil and family destroyer known as the (Juvenile delinquents) are usually the ones who are abandoned from their home or they were brought up in the criminal family record where they did not get enough attention mostly in the Africa worldtoday  teenagers tend to follow what their companion friends are doing and this often time have negative impact on their life

In this world today, drug use is associated with crime and particularly juvenile delinquency. The research on drug use in my recent  researches in some part of the world shows that , parent lock their kid away from their selves  pretending to be giving them the best education in Life, while forgetting that a teacher is a teacher their role in our children life are limited. Because of their limited role and rules the schools today is known as where to find cannabis, cocaine and other drugs, many today have end up giving their children the most costly education service by turning them into high rated drug users.
