"The youth is the hope of our Fatherland", as Dr. Jose P. Rizal wrote in his poem. Have we ever asked ourselves why our country is left behind by other developing countries? Lets take a closer look into our society's current situation. Youth are exposed into different kinds of drugs: marijuana, shabu and rugby. Drug Addiction is the typical reason of youngsters involvement in crime. Even those people who are supposed to lead as a good example are acting the other way around, committing rape, robbery and etc. it seems that our law on prohibited drugs is quietly does not serves its purpose. Yes! the law is there but!, try to roam around in the cities , and you will find children at the early age of 9 are using drugs such as rugby. Is it a manifestation of an effective law? I don’t think so. If it is, it should have at least decrease the increasing number of violence caused by drug addiction. The worst thing is that, the basic unit of our society which is the "FAMILY" is affected. It is supposed to be the foundation of a strong community which will pave our country to a better future. But ladies and gentlemen, how can these things be realized if "Drug addiction continues to be the cancer of our society". You are the start of a better changes that you would like to happen in your society and so be proactive. Think about it!
