CHILDLINE Thiruvananthapuram conducted an awareness at Vaduvoth Nagar Residence Association. The slogan for the campaign was, ‘We can also be warriors in the fight against drug addiction’. Mr Askar conducted the session.
Drug abusers are products of society. However, the aberrant members of a community are not born thus. Then, under what social conditions do they emerge as such? They acquire this deviant trait while growing up in a community. The increasing mechanization of the relationship between parents and children lessens the emotional link between them, which in turn becomes a significant factor that leads the youth towards travelling down the wrong path with their like-minded friends and acquaintances.
While speaking about measures taken to prevent the use and availability of drugs, we must give special attention towards building healthy relationships among family members and society.
