For your help as SAYPA mothers and educated community members, we have posted below this video on drug abuse as well as Biftu speech on drug abuse, which will give a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and help our community create an impressive brief to impress upon African youth in America and bring a change in society.
November 2019 SAYPA community meeting was all about the discussion fatal consumption of drugs and how it is destroying the lives of our youth. sensitive subject matter SAYPA invited Biftu Jillo to give speech on drug abuse.
Drugs, as we all know, are an illegal matter which some people drink, smoke, inject or eat for the mental as well as physical effects that it leaves. There are several who consume drugs out of fun or for various other reasons. People who deal in the selling of drugs create a network and mainly target students in order to make them addicted to drugs. Initially, the drugs are sold to the students for free and gradually when they get addicted to it, they start buying and consuming it. In fact, the students also eventually become a part of their network and start dealing with it.
It is observed that students start consuming drugs out of stress or unfair expectations of their teachers as well as parents. Lack of emotional support and disorder in their families makes them vulnerable and increases their dependency on drugs. They use it in order to calm down their state of mental agitation. Other than this, it is poverty that compels some students to become a part of the selling and dealing network of drugs and derive their pocket money. Therefore, it becomes like a vicious circle of the drug-addicted students from which they seem to find no escape unless the society comes for their rescue.
Sadly, the students fail to realize that the consumption of drugs has a severe impact on their physical and mental health, such as they start experiencing mental disorders, their intelligence level decreases, experience deadly diseases, and untimely death. When one completely succumbs to the temptation of drugs, it gets very difficult for him/her to recover from its impact except in the centers for drug rehabilitation where they gain a new life, but which involves a high cost. In fact, there are many cases too where even rehabilitation centers fail because of the worst condition of the patients.
SAYPA, therefore, request all the students to refrain themselves completely from the consumption of drugs before it destroys their health, future and takes away their lives. Don’t even try to touch or come close to them. Drugs can even destroy a complete generation. So think wise and act smart. Shape your future which seems bright and full of achievements. The drugs that doctor prescribes to his/her patients must only be taken in order to combat a specific disease otherwise the government must take strict measures to ban its illegal trade in the market and save our youth from destruction.
SAYPA wants to conclude by saying that drug abuse should be an absolute ‘No’ for all and SAYPA sincerely hopes that our students will never ever try to consume drugs and will completely stay away from its use. Remember that our country needs you as you are its future and harbinger of progress.
