A
number of students, in their young ages, are accustomed to many vices that are
multiplying unstoppably in our modern world today. They drink liquor, smoke
cigarettes and weeds and sometimes they use drugs, which are very handy. Male
youths mostly do these unprincipled acts however; females are also strongly
influenced by men to indulge themselves in such acts. This is an addiction that
excuses neither the rich nor the poor.
The
core reason why some youths involve themselves into these deeds is the
negligence of their parents who are supposed to help them in terms of crises in
their lives as youths. When they face many problems, they have to look for
someone who is willing to listen to whatever sensible/insensible things they
say because their parents have no time to know what they are experiencing. Some
children are also left to their grandparents because both of their parents have
new families.
Youths
even drink liquors before going to school. They ask permission from their
teachers to use the comfort room for necessity but what they usually do is to
smoke cigarettes and worse to smoke marijuana, the most accessible and popular
hemp plant, which produces a mildly euphoric reaction.
As
these youths look for someone who will show care to them, they get to know
friends who are already expert in using drugs, drinking alcoholic beverages and
smoking cigarettes and marijuana until they are already taught how to use such.
Their
parents give them money for them to buy something to eat but they will just
save it and buy liquor and cigarettes. They steal money from their parents and
sometimes from other people. They even forget to respect their parents.
Some
parents worry about their children because of what is happening nowadays. They
never wanted this to happen to their children. However, have they done anything
to keep their children away from these vices? Have they shown sufficient care?
Do they even ask what is going on? Maybe, some could have done these but some
continue being negligent. Will they remain blind and deaf to the reality that
the world is getting cruel? Will they wait until their children become addicted
to these vices too?
Teachers,
as their second parents, intervene in students’ behavior everytime they are
caught doing so. They call the parents of the students to inform them of the
conduct of their children. However, the intervention should not stop inside the
school because the convincing power of teachers, sometimes, falters.
Other
than the vices mentioned, some students are also addicted to computer games.
They choose to play in computer shops rather than going to school. It’s clearly
a waste of time and money. Thus, the community should also take part in helping
these students taking the right path.
Youths
have the right to learn and parents should give this opportunity to them. They
should motivate their children to concentrate in their studies and refrain from
using addictive drugs. As most people say, youths at present have already
diverted into something undesirable because of modernization. The youths are
the future leaders of our country. They are about to face adulthood. Thus, the
people who are addicted to drugs should stop and concentrate to their studies
for their future, for everyone’s future.
If
only I have powers like any superhero, these should have been the people I’ve
saved because they are of my age. Pity emanates within me whenever I think of
them.
