It has been recorded that in the Philippines, drug abuse is a common, topnotch social problem. It s a disease with no cure. It s sad to know that its very victims are the youth, the said hope of the fatherland stated by the Filipinos national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal.
Imagine, when a young girl, 14 years of age, takes on drugs? What will be the future of her? There will be nothing left. Her life will become miserable, pathetic and violent. Because, as we know, metamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu and marijuana- the main predators in the Philippines- can cause psychotic disorders which will eventually lead to self-destruction.
Not only the victim will be harmed, but the people around her, the friends, the family who care.
The family, as the foundation of the society has the great influence to the youth. Let us encourage them to fight against it, to shun away from drug abuse.
Why take on drugs when you can play volleyball? Let us remind them.
Sports is a worthwhile activity- like volleyball. It enhances ourselves, physically and mentally. It swings us away from loneliness and depression which are the common denominators of drug abuse. Encourage our youth to engage in volleyball. They can meet new friends, build confidence and can make a difference for a brighter future- away from the annihilation of the illegal drugs!
Let us unite to save our youth. Stop drug abuse. Play volleyball!
