its a tough situation to deal with, a major prob. One wouldnt kno where to start solving this problem

hehe come on people .. you are making me lauff!!

There was a time (oh yes there was) when even smoking was considered as bad as drugs .. but now .. its quite common .. same goes for drinking (oh come one, please dont give me that look) .. people can go and drink (for the socialising sake) and from another topic in this very section, most people agree to sex education (oh remember there was a time when sex was a taboo word) .. so whats this fuss about .. give it 5-10 years (+/-2) and all this will seem perfectly normal .. peace

It mite be normal in a few years but its still a problem, A MAJOR one...sex education is somthing diff altogether Aadi...its not harmful to peoples lives. Drug addiction is a totally seperate issue

I would not discuss sex education here as it is off the topic.

But as far as drug addiiction is concerned. Why worry about it?? I really don't see a concern. Why is it "bad"? and oh I used double-quotes on purpose .. for example ..

Through the use of cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco, nicotine is one of the most heavily used addictive drugs in the United States. In 2005, 29.4 percent of the U.S. population 12 and older - 71.5 million people - used tobacco at least once in the month prior to being interviewed.* This figure includes 3.3 million young people age 12 to 17 (13.1 percent). Young adults aged 18 to 25 reported the highest rate of past month use of any tobacco products (44.3 percent) in 2005.

Tobacco and nicotine deaths figurers are much more higher than deaths caused by use of drugs. Oh I forgot one thing:

Our all favourite alcohol is right behind tobacco .. someone needs to get their priorities right ..

@yusra .. this is was not directed at you .. if it was offensive .. read my siggy

oh and for those 'clever' people who will going to post this is a topic about Pakistan drug abuse, I'm using USA material as a reference..

[friendlygal786]

no offense taken...I mentioned sex education cuz u had mentioned it in ur previous post.

What has USA got to do with a topic clearly mentioning Pakistan in the title? Let me also assure you that it's already become normal for people to do drugs here. It's time we pay attention to the root cause (illetracy, lack of resources, corruption to name a few) of this problem and not just sit in the corner like a bunch of losers and pretend that it's all over.

Scores of people are dying in Karachi alone (page one for reference) and the more this menace spreads, the more we will get closer to the beginning of the end.

The story of this person will perhaps give you some motivation.

The post 'clearly' gives the reason why USA was mentioned. So now I'm going to be told just because a country's name gets mentioned in a topic title, users are not allowed to post a different country's name!? I did search around but I'm afraid no other country provided the statstics I required.

lol the causes you have mentioned have been there, well, since Pakistan was made. I, personally, think a 15 year old has enough sense to know whats right and whats wrong. Just because 'that' loser did not have something called common sense, does not make anyone else (from the public) be responsible for them. (oh you can shoot the politicians by all means necessary).

Oh and please dont come back at me with that crap saying 'halaat majboor karte hain' .. to hell with these 'excuses' .. I've been thru the same 'halaat' .. I never have and never will think of doing something like that.

We can keep doing this for next 10 years by posting and pointing fingers at whats wrong, but the people who actually can make a difference don't even bother about it.
