Addiction in my life

Usually, I don't do computer games and watch television much. I was used to addicted to television, but I have quit from it few years ago because of my mother. However, currently, I can't stop using internet and SMS. In case of internet, I have to use it for my homework and to chat with my friends. In addition, I always move around with my mobile phone and I am usually bored if I don't do SMS with others. My parents don't like me moving around with the phone in my hand, thus they always try to persuade me to stop using cellphone. I think I can give up SMS if my parents force me to, but not the internet. However, if I really want to quit from using internet and cellphone, I think I can do it by myself. Overall, this project gave me an opportunity to learn how hard is it to combat the drug use. Compare to my case, quit from the drug addiction is easy to give up and because it effects physically and psychologically, it destroys human. I could re-understand the drug from new point of view and it changed my concept about drug.

How do you help drug abuser?

First, I will try to persuade them by telling them some tragedies that drug brings. However, in my opinion, I think they won't admit the fact that they are addicted and the situation that they are in. Therefore, I would remove all the drugs and make them to admit the fact that they are actually addicted to drug. Then, I will send them for rehab or arrange an appointment with counselor. However, I think the most important think for drug abuser is their will to stop abusing drugs. Thus, I will try my best to change their mind by talking about their family and cheering them up.

Affect of Drug to my family and to the community.

If one of my family starts abusing drugs, my family will change to violent. First, my parents will blame each other about the irresponsibillity. In addition, there will be argument between drug abused member and other. These kinds of quarrel can lead to fight and it will break the peace of my family. To deal with the individual, there will be some punishments such as grounding, limiting freedom and corporal punishment. Plus, my parents will arrange an appointment between the doctor or the counselor and send for rehab. This might affect the community. Our neighbors might humiliate our family and destroy the relationship between our family and the neighbors.
