Changing world

Years by years,

the gap of the wealth and the poor increases,

Months by months,

the crime rate is escalating,

Weeks by weeks,

more destructions upon the innocents,

Days by days,

hundreds of trees are cut down,

Hours by hours,

more animals are threatened,

Minutes by minutes,

more tears are shed,

Seconds by seconds,

our life are endangered

Moments by moments,

the world is changing

Hahaha.. as you can see, I was out-of-my-mind bored so I did this.. Donno what it is, but it sure made the 15 minutes flew by.. =P

Drug Abuse

• Alcohol, heroin, ecstacy...
  
• medicine or narcotic?
  
• both addictive and hazardous...

Drug... A notorious killer! The use of illegal drugs among teenagers is escalating. Unfortunately, teenagers do not see the link between their actions today and the consequences tomorrow. They have a tendency to turn blind eye and feel adamant to the problems that others experienced. Teens use drugs for various reasons; they have a family history of substance abuse, depression, out of curiousity, befriend with the wrong people and because they do not fit in or out of the mainstream. Thus, they are trying to fill the vacuum of their life.
Parents can help to conquer this problem. They should involved in their children's life, teaching them responsible behaviour, encouraging open communication, instilling their self worth, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and most importantly; by being a good role model to them.
In short, teenagers must know the consequences on drug addiction before trying on it. Family background and the community influence one's life so it should not be taken lightly. Drug abuse must be avoided at all cost as life is precious; we never know the worth of water until the well runs dry.
