What is your role or contribution in the fight against substance misuse and abuse?

As a youth, I can help prevent the misuse and abuse of drugs by giving or sharing my
knowledge and understanding about the abuse of drugs that could cause bad effect to
ourselves and to the people from our surroundings. For examples is by spreading the
awareness that abusing drugs that could cause them illness and diseases. Having a grasp to this
kind of addiction may help them to avoid it and keeps them to live a healthy life. I can also be
an advocate to prevent the spread of addiction and save people that abuse drugs.
There are a lot of ways to prevent the use of drug addiction. Especially to the young
generations that are also affected by this global concern. Here are the examples of how we can
prevent drug abuse that cause addiction and mislead to the path of our life. We must
“Understand”, Knowing the real consequences if we try to abuse drugs and way to prevent and
eventually avoid this in our life. We should be able to “Listen”, This will allow us to gain more
knowledge and deeply understand why we need to avoid the misuse of drugs. Share, I already
have knowledge, but it is a heartwarming if I share my knowledge to others so that they can be
able to understand it and also share it. Encourage, it is also helpful if we encourage our family,
friends, and others to be on track and pursue a healthy life. It is our duty to support the people
and organization that encourage the prevention of the misuse of drugs. This will also help us by
organizing ourselves, give efforts to the concern and create a great impact that will led to
successful way of prevention to this concern. Last but not the least is to “Inform”, approach the
government agencies to be able to solve the cases of drug abuse. This will contribute a great
impact to us and to others.
I am only a youth, but I’m already exposed to this concern. Although this concern is no
longer new to us. But we have responsibility of taking actions to save them and continue to a
positive and meaningful life. Sharing your knowledge and understanding can contribute a great
impact to the lives of others that will help them to avoid it and also to influence other. This kind
of actions may lessen the misuse of drugs and change the person who are addicted to drugs.
