The long term effects:the long term effects are far in number then the short term effects.These effects totally change the personality of the youth.the youth who regularly consume drugs,become aggressive.They become irritable and lose temper at a small cause.they cannot decide which is the important matter and which is not.Losing temper unnecessarily is the characteristics of the drug taking personality.And again some become depressive.They lose interest of the outside world.After they became the victim of drug,one find lack of action and enthusiasm in them.

Mostly they sit idle in the corner of the room,almost non-receptive.Some of them became liable for a schizophrenic state,i.e.they may suffer a mild attack of the schizophrenic behavior.Then it becomes difficult to bring  them back to the normal life.The psychoanalysts have found that such youth suffer from claustrophobia,which means the fear of crowd.Thus, they start unconsciously fearing people.They know that taking drug is a crime and an anti-social activity.Thus,the sense of guilt gets deep down in their mind.Another abnormality associated with the kind of behavior is called the persecution mania which means the feeling in the mind that someone after them and following them wherever they go.The purpose being sending them to jail.In reality,this is not the case.This is one kind of delusion they are suffering from.

This type of youth experiences a huge psychological change.His mental attitude goes through a transformation.He became a totally different personality.His way of looking at the family,friends,opposite sex,profession takes a turn,which is not helpful but harmful to him.Almost all his mental process like thinking,feeling and willing are disturbed.He losses concentration and makes mistakes in taking decision.The drug addicted youths fall victims to two kinds of abnormalities.Firstly the neurosis,which is a mild type of abnormality and which requires sometimes hospitalization also.Thus,in comparison with the biological,social or economical loss is far greater.One wonders why in spite of warnings,youth take drugs,which are the force that compel them to this bad habit.There are many reasons for Drug Abuse.

Firstly,the environmental force are at work.Mostly,youths residing in hostels catch up this habit.When most of the members of hostel are taking drugs,naturally hr is lured to take them many a times he is pressed to take drugs of one kind or the other.Thus,the environment is the major factor.

Secondly,youths take drugs to break the boredom of life.They feel tired of the monotonous life.They want excitement.They want to experiment the strange and mysterious feelings.The drug provide them easy way to get some feelings.

Thirdly,these youths who are mainly medical and engineering students go through the state of anxiety.Their parent expect from them to pass the examination with high grades.Youths have doubts deep down in their minds, they would meet the expectation of the parents.They also feel the constant tension of situation,they turn to drugs and get the freedom from this tension,for a while.This,to see it psychologically,is the process of escapism at work.

Human Rights

The right to live and exist,right to equality including equality before law,non-discrimination on field of religions,race,caste,sex or place of birth and equality of opportunity in matters of employment,right to freedom of speech and expression,assemble association movement,residence,right to practice any profession or occupation,right against exploitation,prohibiting all form of force labor,child labor and trafficking in human beings,right to freedom of propagation,practice and conscience of religion and right to legal remedies for enforcement of the above are the basic human rights.These rights and freedom  are they vary foundation of democracy.Obviously,in a democracy the maximum number of freedoms and rights are enjoyed by the people.Besides there is political rights which include to contest an election and to vote freely for a candidates of one's choice.Human rights are milestone of the development and civilized society.But rights cannot exists in vacuum.They have their corresponding duties.

Rights and Duties are the two faces of the same coin.Liberty never means licence.Right presuppose a rule of law where each and every of the society follows a code of conduct and behaviour for the food of all.It is the sense of duty and tolerance that gives meaning to rights.Right have their existence  on the principle of life and let live.For example,my right to expression  and speech involves my duty to allow other to enjoy the same freedom of speech and expression.Rights and Duties are independent and interlinked.A perfect balance is to be determined between them .Whenever there is chaos,there is imbalance.

A sense of tolerance,happiness and adjustment is the must for the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms.Human life without  basic rights and freedom is worthless.Freedom is the most precious  thing without which life would become intolerable,a mere object and slavish existence.In this context the famous  and quoted line of millions from his paradise lost come to mind..But the freedom cannot survive without its corresponding obligations and duties.

An individual is the part of society in which he enjoys certain rights and freedoms only because of fulfillment of certain duties and obligation towards others.Thus freedom is based on mutual understanding for each other's rights.A fine balance is to be set between two or three would be anarchy and bloodshed.The human right can be best preserved and protected in society stepped in morality,discipline and social order.

The parents,teachers,doctor,social worker and even politicians should start to take step in this direction.First of all,parent should keep strict vigil in their offspring.They should check whether they have bad friend with the habit of taking drugs.When they stay in hostel a constant watch becomes necessity.

Secondly,youth should be diverted to the healthy and creative activities.This process in psychology is called "sublimation".Activities like games,musical,program,good quality reading etc....should be provided to them.Youth basically wants excitement and so authorities should make arrangements for the same.New ways and method of providing healthy feeling should be introduced.

One method is to pick some good youths and ask them to search their peers to keep away from the drugs.They should be ask to use the technique of suggestion,so that youth try to free themselves from the hand of this mess.

Legally speaking,strict law should be made to punish such youths.Not only this,the proper publicity should be done showing the difficulties of the punishment should be given to drug seller also.

These are the only suggestion to solve the problem of drug abuse.Any step should be taken which could stop the youth taking from drugs.Psychologists,sociologists and doctor can faintly put effort to reach the solution.

When most of the countries of the world have been conscious of the problem and have started taking strictly steps.Our country should not be left behind.Now drug taking is not restricted to the wealthy youths of our country,it is spreading among the youths of the middle class and the lower class of our society.An all round attack is very much essential.The Government should look into the matter a fresh.If this is not done,gradually the social order will weaken the structure of the families will suffer a lot because youth are their bricks.

When youth consume drugs,in a second it reaches his brain.It activates the cell and nerves.For a while ,he experience the excitement but suffers greatly later on.In most of the drugs ,acids of one kind or the other is mixed ans they ruin the brain cells.Sometimes this brings about permanent impairment.According to the latest investigations,genes are also affected and that can create hereditary problems  for the children or such youth.

The drug taking youth is so much lost in his world of illusory excitement,that he does not feel to mixing with others.In other words he dislike social contacts.This will affect in his social development and social relations of various types which are needed for his full personality development.Remaining away from social environment is called by the sociologists as the state of alienation.The youth beings to pass through such a state.He become aloof from friends and family.He becomes an island where he does not accept others.thus,socially proves him a great failure.
