How to prevent teenagers from taking drugs

Our country was once severely affected by drugs, so after the founding of New China, the state's control over drugs was very strict. However, drugs are highly violent substances, so many people still take risks and spread drugs in society. Teenagers have weak safety awareness and strong curiosity, and many children have become victims of drugs. So, how can teenagers prevent drug abuse? Let’s take a look at the methods below.

Drug abuse refers to the illegal act of taking or injecting drugs. The methods of drug abuse include smoking, oral administration, nasal inhalation, intramuscular injection, intravenous injection, etc. The main reasons for drug abuse are:

1. Driven by curiosity. The reasons that rank first are "experience the feeling", "smoke for fun", "try it out", and "try something new". This thought of "giving it a try" is often the beginning of a path to drug addiction.

2. Seek excitement. They think taking drugs is fashionable and stylish, especially some individual business owners who have become rich first. They think it is time to enjoy themselves and take a puff, so that their life will not be in vain.

3. Confidence. Some people think that drug addicts serve as role models for drug rehabilitation. Some are provoked into taking drugs, which leads to their inability to quit after taking them. People with strong personalities are often easily blinded by their self-confidence.

4. Being deceived and seduced due to ignorance. Many drug addicts are deceived into taking drugs without knowing it, and become unable to stop after a few times. In order to expand their drug network, many drug dealers often take advantage of the ignorance of young students and lure them in from all sides.

5. Family influence. Family breakdown, inadequate protection of parental relationship, improper family education, and negative influence of family members are the original intentions that induce drug abuse.

6. Impact of negative events. Use drugs to numb the depression and low mood caused by emotional discord, broken love, parents' divorce, career setbacks, business bankruptcy, unemployment, etc., and get rid of the distress. This is more likely to happen to people who are emotionally fragile and weak-willed.

Teenagers are in the period of physical and psychological development. They are curious, have poor ability to distinguish right from wrong, lack awareness of the harmfulness of resisting drugs and the illegality of drug use, and are easily susceptible to drug abuse. Therefore, the police would like to remind you that as long as you do the following points, you can effectively prevent teenagers from taking drugs.

1. Strengthen the education of basic drug knowledge and anti-drug laws and regulations, understand the harm of drugs, and realize the truth that "taking a puff of drugs is like falling into the tiger's mouth."

2. Establish a correct outlook on life and do not blindly pursue enjoyment, excitement or fashion.

3. Don’t believe in the sweet talk that drugs can cure diseases, relieve worries and pain, and bring happiness to people.

4. Do not make friends with people who use or sell drugs. If you find that any of your relatives or friends are taking drugs, you should first dissuade them, second, stay away from them, and third, report to the public security authorities.

5. Be cautious when entering a dance hall and never take stimulants such as ecstasy and K powder.

6. Even if you are lured or deceived into taking drugs once without knowing it, you must cherish your life and not relapse.
