Impact of Drug Abuse On Youths Posted: 01-16-07 10:45am
Hi,
i'm currently working on a project on the
above topic and I would like to find out
more on this topic.
1) will the health of the drug abuser be
affected till old age even after he/she
had stop abusing drugs? If yes, in what
ways will their health be affected?
2) what are the ways to help youth drug
abusers to quit drug abusing without the
help of professionals? Is there anyway
where their close ones(family) could help
them?
I greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!

Sure.
1. It depends on the type of drug. I
used marijuana and have been clean for
almost 4 years. Some longer-term effects
i've noticed are:
* lowered immune system
* yellow-brown stained teeth
* difficulty with memory and prioritizing
details
* depression
2. Drug abusers (no matter the age) are
not going to stop until they're dead or
exhausted. Addiction compels use.
Unless a person is ready to stop, they
won't.
