Abstract
Substance abuse is one of the major problems that our society is suffering from, not
only adult but most of the adolescents of this generation prefer alcohol or drugs in
order to have fun, to get fame and to escape the reality. Substance abuse actually
doesnt help them to escape the reality but when an adolescent is abusing
substance he starts isolating himself which leads to noting but depression.
Our main objective is to create awareness regarding this problem. Substance abuse
harms us in every possible way by physically, mentally and also as well as socially.
This would not only distress the adolescent but also the family of the adolescent.
Every one should be aware of the consequences of substance abuse so as to avoid
it
We visited two rehabilitation centres and provided them with a questionnaire in
order to be aware of the number adolescents suffering from this problem.
According to them 25% adolescents are into substance abuse that they know of. We
surveyed 40 random college students who are indulged in substance abuse and
asked them a series of questions which also comprised of the question that whether
substance abuse leads to depression and 87% said that it does lead to depression.
Some of them even admit that they were involved in illegal activities to arrange the
money required for buying drugs/alcohol.
The adolescents family and friends are also the sufferers of this problem.
Substance abuse is not good it only leads towards depression. This is what we can
say after discussing with psychologists and counselors of the rehabilitation centers
Introduction
Substance abuse is nothing but excessive use of drugs, alcohol or tobacco.
Adolescents initially try drugs or alcohol just to experiment or due to peer pressure
but subsequently it leads to addiction. They use it to escape the reality which leads
them to a stage where they isolate themselves from their surroundings which leads
to depression later on.
