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

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. Fun and play are fundamental to children's health and development and it is vital that the time, space, priority and resources are given over to ensuring that children have opportunities for play and leisure. There is a real need to ensure a good balance between protecting children on the one hand and allowing the freedom to play and explore their environment on the other. As children grow we must support and empower them to respect, value and take good care of their bodies and minds and to seek help and advice to help them do so. This includes a commitment to actively protect children and young people from the damaging and risky effects of tobacc...

Think Well

How to think like a programmer — lessons in problem solving By  Richard Reis If you’re interested in programming, you may well have seen this quote before: “Everyone in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you to think.” — Steve Jobs You probably also wondered what does it mean, exactly, to think like a programmer? And  how  do you do it?? Essentially,   it’s all about  a more effective way for problem solving . In this post, my goal is to teach you that way. By the end of it, you’ll know exactly what steps to take to be a better problem-solver. Why is this important? Problem solving is the meta-skill. We all have problems. Big and small. How we deal with them is sometimes, well…pretty random. Unless you have a system, this is probably how you “solve” problems (which is what I did when I started coding): Try a solutio...

The Depression of thoughts

All The Numerous Ways I’ve Failed At Curing My Depression By  Shado Evans ,  I had no idea what was happening to me. I had no map in dealing with whatever was plaguing my mentality. I didn’t know where I was going, I just knew I was going south. I figured whatever it was would go away soon enough, so I did nothing. It didn’t go away. I spent the bulk of my days lying in bed until my mattress became indented in the center. I soundtracked this indolence with playlist chalked full of Kid Cudi and Elliot Smith dirges. I smoked bunk weed and binge-watched TV series’ multiple times over instead of honoring social engagements. I stuffed myself with high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients with scientific names and questionable nutritional value. I hid out in figurative closets, dimly lit dive bars and under unwashed duvet covers. I masturbated like I was sponsored. I felt myself getting irritated and rustled easily. I felt like my friends were a cause of my mindset ...
