What Teenagers should know about Drugs? (Part III)   "Different drugs have different effects on the body" While effects vary from one person to the next, in general, "marijuana" gives users an initial “high”, or a dizzy, light-headed feeling, followed by a more relaxed sensation. "Amphetamines" provide an energy boost so that users can stay awake longer and work or dance more. "Cocaine" can give users a very happy, euphoric feeling when first taken, and it can make users forget they are hungry or tired. While these effects might sound nice, they do not last long. Many people get depressed and lonely afterwards and start feeling sick. Also, it is common for people who use drugs to seem confused, have red eyes, sweat a lot and not to care about their physical appearance. And, of course, there is the risk of becoming addicted.

                      After effects of syringes of " Heroin " Shared by Neelam Verma (Nada Intern) on our Facebook group. A heroine is a female hero. "Heroin" is an illegal drug. Irony is that both gives pleasure (of course not for long) to you..but its always better to fantasize a heroine rather den falling for Heroin. - Vindhya 
What teenagers should know about Drugs? (Part II) "Marijuana" (pot, grass, weed, ganja) is usually smoked in a cigarette and sold in brown chunks. "Amphetamines" (including meth) and ecstasy are usually sold as pills, but can also come in a powder that can be mixed into a drink. Users simply swallow the pill or the drink. "Cocaine" , a white or brownish powder, is usually snorted through the nose, while "heroin" is generally injected with a syringe. Share this with teens around you. Leave your comments.

What teenagers should know about Drugs? (Part I) Technically, drugs are chemical substances that alter or affect the function of the body. Therefore, medicines are drugs, as are cigarettes, coffee and alcohol.However, here we are talking about illegal drugs or drugs with no good purpose (alcohol & cigarettes). People may be pressured into taking drugs to “fit in” with a particular crowd or they may take drugs to rebel or to get attention. Drug users come from all kinds of backgrounds.They are male and female, young and old, rich and poor, working and unemployed, from the city and the countryside—it does not matter. Drug use can affect anyone. To be continued... Share this with young kids around you. Leave your comments.
India has at least 4 million drug addicts, and the number is increasing creepingly fast. It's time we wake from our slumber, and do something about it. What better way, than to understand the issue at hand.

^^International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking~~ 26th June "Unless we reduce demand for illicit drugs, we can never fully tackle cultivation, production or trafficking. Governments have a responsibility to counteract both drug trafficking and drug abuse, but communities can also make a major contribution. Families, schools, civil society and religious organizations can do their part to rid their communities of drugs. Businesses can help provide legitimate livelihoods. The media can raise awareness about the dangers of narcotics." - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (United Nations) Message for the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 26 June 2011

Alcohol abuse triggers social stress and poor grades among ...

Alcohol Alert Indian Express Teenage drinkers are more likely to feel like social outcasts when surrounded by fellow students who tend to avoid alcohol, which eventually affects their academic performances, a new sociological study has revealed. The study showed alcohol consumption leads to increased social stress and poor grades, especially among students in schools with tightly connected friendship cliques and low levels of alcohol abuse. For their study, Robert Crosnoe, a professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, Aprile Benner, an assistant professor of human ecology at the University of Texas at Austin, and Barbara Schneider, a professor of sociology and education at Michigan State University, analyzed National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) data on 8,271 adolescents from 126 schools. Add Health, which began in 1994, is the largest and most comprehensive survey of health-related behavior among adolescents between grad
