The students are the future of a country they are the next generation that leads a country to the
next level but currently our generation are in danger like drug and mobile addictions etc. These
addictions are destroying our children and their future. Getting addicted at such a small age will
affect their future and hence destroy a country’s future too. There the question also exists that,
without a holistic development with the IQ, EQ, RQ and SQ , how the country will reach to a
development. When we wander to the reasons for children being to the addictions provides us with
the answer that , the enthusiasm in adolescence and the peer pressure contributes to the same.
Similarly the parenting also have a great influence in the addiction related practices among the
children and also to the behavioral changes. When we interact with the children, it is understood
that the number of children who become dependent on the forms of addictions are increasing
tremendously. The awareness session focused to contribute to the aspects of providing a proper
information that they need to receive in the adolescent age group. And also explained the
preventive education strategy
