DRUG ABUSE EPIDEMIC


Alas -the drug abuse epidemic is here            
Driven by selfishness and greedy
Sustained by demons of addiction
Flourishing in apathy
Destroying stealthily but steadily
Eroding physical and mental health
Breeding disease, vices and crimes
HIV/AIDs, prostitution and armed robbery

Awake great citizen of the continent
Drug abuse is an autocrat that is still the author of confusion
Brake the laws and rules and hinders peace
Makes the weather so smoky and stuffy
The hidden place is now a dungeon of kleptos
The body cells regrets been in the cell of smokes
Pesistent and consistent is burning the systems
Heart cancer, kidney stone, lung dying and no hope for living

Alas -the drug abuse epidemic is here
Crippling today, tomorrow's leaders
Sucking curious and ignorant adolescents
Into its tempting vortex of toxic doom
Changing our darling angels at home
Our cherished school of learning
Into bloody raging battle field of horror
When shall this nightmare end?
Awake good people,procrastinate no more
Sound now the alarm of battle
Gird yourselves and bravely fight
This hydra-headed monster in our midst
Devourer of our priceless youths
And threat to stability of nations
This epidemic of drug abuse
All hands on check
United we prevail
Divided we fail and fall
let continue fighting against drug abuse

According to psychological research, the greatest emotional need is security. Who doesn’t want to be liked? Yet, trying to be liked and living in alignment with your goals and values often conflict. That is, if you’re trying to be liked by everyone. John Lennon once said,  “Trying to please everybody is impossible — if you did that, you’d end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You’ve just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.” Wanting approval and  needing  approval are two very different things. We all want approval. But when you need it: You come-off as desperateyou say “yes” to stuff that clearly doesn’t resonateyou lack an internal compassyour relationships are co-dependent, one-sided, surface-level, and bound to fall apart at some future point Your need for ap...

Lifestyle to the Teenagers

Lifestyle encompasses a whole range of childhood issues including the ways in which children are involved in making choices about their own interests and hobbies and how they spend their time. Children and young people need to be encouraged and supported to experience and explore the fullest range possible of activities and interests.
