Art Of Teaching

Illicit drug use is one such genuine and terrible issue that has caught the youth of our nation thoroughly. Today the vast majority of the youngsters in the early age of 17-20years have been observed to be truly dependent on the exploitative substance misuse or chronic drug use and these have been for the most part, the school and even college going youngsters. Indeed, even the unprivileged and helpless youngsters have likewise been observed to be associated with chronic drug use/fixation.

Dangerous issue before the Indian government

This has a dangerous issue before the Indian government in light of the fact that the youthful age is the possible force for the eventual fate of the nation and assuming their present lives are suffocated under such addictions, the fate of the country would absolutely transform into dull future prospective. This is for sure a big deal in our Indian culture also, and this matter ought to be settled with aggregate endeavours of individuals of the general public.

Family Orientations:

The current situation of the general public has been completely changed than the prior occasions, as presently in the metropolitan regions the families are getting atomic. As both the guardians are working hence, they cannot give a subjective opportunity to their children. Significance and confidence in virtues have likewise been decreased in the families as seniors are getting dismissed. Youth on a large portion of the occasions watch out of their homes for somebody to share and for company and put themselves out there in open society and this now and then leads them to include in some unacceptable friend gatherings.

Correspondence, cooperation, understanding among the relatives:

This scenario is lessening progressively and in addition the cutting edge of schooling framework has represented a great deal of strain on the students. Among the helpless families, because of sheer destitution, guardians cannot fulfil all demands of the youngsters.  There is no cash and time to accomplish the same and, in this way, ignorance prompts their contribution in dishonest activities and awful organization of companions. The rich kids also have disturbed home structure leading to drug abuse to get away from reality and in a way the poor emulate them and therefore fall prey to drug abuse.

Lack of Guidance and Alienation from Parental Love:

 In such conditions young people feel really distanced; they lose their insight and need to dispose of their nerves, strains and despondency that at last shows them the best approach to medications or substance misuse. They accept that medications cause them to fail to remember every one of their strains and tensions and cause them to feel free and without any strife, they rather feel better in the deadness brought about by the medications than bearing any pressure because of their common-sense lives.

Parents, Elders and Friends should always be careful:

One does not realize at the early stage, when the usage of drugs might turn into an addiction and the moment it becomes an addiction it is very late. Thus, the parents, elders and friends should always be careful and alert when they observe the following symptoms in any of their known youngster/child:

1.Carelessness, reduced interest in studies or work, reduced interaction/communication with others, loss of interest in physical or recreational activities at school/college/workplace/home.

2.Constant fatigue, irritation, involved in fights, arguments.

3.Gives a sense of becoming a different person probably a pessimistic.

4.Gets involved in unethical and illegal activities like stealing money, accidents.

5.Sudden loss of interest in life, appetite, loss of body weight.

6.Sudden sweating and increased sleeping time.

Drugs become an addiction:

When drugs, become an addiction for a person however it is extremely tough to get rid of it but it is not impossible either. With the constant help, motivation and guidance of the parents, family, friends, counsellors/Rehabilitators/Doctors and with the personal will power of the addicted person; drug addiction can be rectified.

There is a need for pre-check or safety measures, which are always essential to be taken so that the youngsters do not even think to get indulged in drug abuse. The home is the first place where the personality of a child is being brought up and the household is best ally and the guide for a young child. It is necessary to spend value time with your children even if they are youngsters. Regular policing is a must.

If the parents try to create an open and a harmonious relationship with the young children of the family then there are less chances of distraction and unethical involvement of the children.

But at the advanced phase when the youngster has already left on a wrong path, the accountability of the household and the parents increases double fold.

Solutions:

 It therefore becomes very necessary for us to find out enlightenments which need to be applied in order to help the hooked teen-ager to get rid of his/her addiction for drugs:

1.Personal Will is a must: To get rid of the drug addiction, a personal will is required. Until and unless the addicted person realizes that a blunder has been done with his/her life and life should be brought back on the right path, no one else would be able to help that person.

2.Family and Friends should be Supportive and Compassionate: Family members should be compassionate and supportive to the person with drug addiction. There is an acute need of love, care and motivation of the parents and the other family members. If this can be acquired instead of criticism, then it would be easier for the addicted youngster to get rid of the addiction. Parents, and close friends should listen to the person with endurance and give warmth and help and refrain from societal punishments.

3.Professional Help is required:  Doctors, counsellors or rehabilitators should be consulted in order to help the addicted person because they can assist him/her in a more profound way. The concerned elders should not show any hesitation in clearing up the problem with the doctor/counsellor and should not consider it a taboo to do so. They need to meet the doctor/counsellor with or without the addicted child.

I conclude by saying that ………

Drug addiction is a curse for any person because it not only spoils but destroys a life. Youngsters are innocent and they thoroughly need right guidance, moral education and a healthy environment at their homes, schools and workplace. Parents, teachers and elders must always be sympathetic and communicative with the youngsters so that they can easily talk out their issues and feelings. These addicted children need a good hearer and a leader who can hold their hands and show them the right track. If the teenagers feel protected and if they know that they have some dependable people in their lives with whom they can freely share their state of mind and glitches, then there is no scope for any wrong things to intervene in their thoughts and life. Also they need other options to vent out their negative feelings.
