Practical 7
Well, this week is an e-learning week so we had to do our reflections on Wiki. As this is actually my first time using Wiki, I find that Wiki is actually quite user-friendly. Although I have never used Wiki before, I find it rather easy to use.
So for this week e-learning, we are actually suppose to submit a summary of our own research findings for our own topic. So let me do a reflection on this e-learning activity. =)
My Reflection
For this e-learning activity, I have researched on my own topic 'Discuss the impact of drug abuse on youths'. After researching, I realised there are actually still quite a number of youths taking drugs despite some of them knowing the consequences.
Some of the drugs that youths take are:
- Alcohol
- Cigarettes
- Heroin
- Morphine
- Cocaine
- Inhalants
Up till now, I still do not quite understand why do youths want to take drugs and destroy their own health. From the research, I realised that taking drugs can lead to many Health problems.
1) HIV, Hepatitis and other infectious disease
2) Cardiovascular Effects
3) Respiratory Effects
4) Kidney Damage
5) Mental Health Effects
6) Cancer
7) Liver Damage
8) Other Health Problems
After seeing so much health problems that can occur after taking drugs, why do youths still want to take drugs and damage their own health? I feel that one of the reasons youths take drugs is due to stress.
Once youths are faced with stressful problems and they have no one to confide in, they would then take drugs to numb themselves and also to relieve their stress. I feel that this is a very dumb way of relieving their stress as this will not only NOT relieve stress but it will only lead to more HEALTH PROBLEMS!
Therefore, youths should not even take drugs to relieve thier stress. Instead, taking up a sport activity or a hobby would be an excellent way of relieving stress and it will definitely help the body.

So, I still believe that PREVENTION is the best way to drug abuse.
