One of the sub topics to be loooked at during the workshop is DRUG ADDICTION. Just recently my daughter in a private mission University told me of some students that were expelled from the school on account use of strong drugs. She said that they usually go the ceiling of their hostel to smoke. They have carefully created and arranged a good space up in the roof and constantly viisit there when the urge comes, until it discovered by the school authority and the involving students were all sent home. A lot of young people evening in secondary schools are lured into using drugs without understanding the full implicatoin of it. For most people the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary, over time the changes in the brain caused by repeated drug abuse can affect a person's self control and ability to make sound decisions, and at the same time create an intense impulse to take more drugs. Drug addiction is therefore a chronic often relapsing brain diseases that causes compulsive drug seeking and use, despite the harmful consequenses to the drug addict and those around them. The abuse of drug leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain and the individual gradually looses control and becomes a victim.
