Broad Surveies: Independent Enquiry Studies Enquiry subject: How does drug maltreatment affect personal development of Hong Kong adolescents?
1. Introduction
I am interested in the subject of drug maltreatment since I foremost study the bad effects of drug maltreatment. However. the ground I chose drug maltreatment as my question subject because a new that I late read. It showed a really unsafe tendency appears in Hong Kong which is more and more adolescents try to mistreat drugs. It besides found that drug maltreatment would do great harm towards the personal development of adolescents. As I am really worry about this issue so I developed involvement on the issue of adolescent drug maltreatment.
I besides found that the age of adolescent who abuse drugs become younger and younger. 1From the statistic done in 2009 shows that there were 8. 916 drug users reported in the first six months of the twelvemonth. which is 1. 7 % more than the same period in 2008. The figure of drug users under 21 old ages old rose from 2. 106 to 2. 175. This information shows the urgency to pay attending to the job. If we do non pay attending to the issue of adolescent drug maltreatment. many adolescents will endure greatly from drug maltreatment. Furthermore. I had besides done an interview with a societal worker. Miss Fung. I have a more clear understanding towards the grounds that cause adolescents to mistreat drugs.
I think it is really of import to see the grounds of adolescent drug maltreatment. We can seek to forestall teenager drug abuse merely when we know why they try to mistreat drugs. Furthermore. we besides need to see the bad effects of adolescent drug maltreatment towards their personal development so that adolescents could understand the earnestness of drug maltreatment. This is besides an effectual ways in forestalling teenage from mistreating drugs.

5. 4. 1 Peer influence Harmonizing to Chart 2. the chief grounds that cause the respondents to mistreat drugs is “Peer influence ” . where 36 respondents had chosen this point. Peer is a really influential group among adolescents. 3As adolescents normally spend a big sum of times with their equals so equals will play a really influential function in teenagers’ live. The credibleness. authorization. power. and influence of equals are greater during adolescence than at any other clip in life. Therefore. adolescents will seek for credence and belonging to their equal groups. In this manner. adolescents are more likely to mistreat drugs if their equals had maltreatment drugs so as to derive peer acknowledgment.
Besides. adolescents would experience it is hard to decline the petitions by their equals. As they worried they would be isolated by their equals if they refused their petitions so they would normally take the petitions

f their equals. Even though they know that mistreating drugs is bad for their wellness. they would still follow their equals to mistreat drugs. Adolescents would experience more save if they follow the manners of their equals. Therefore. they would follow the manners of their equals like mistreating drugs if their equals inquire them to make so.
5. 4. 2 Seeking for exhilaration Seeking for exhilaration is besides a really of import ground that cause adolescents abuse drugs. There are 27 respondents think that “seeking for excitement” is the chief grounds that cause adolescent drug maltreatment. In fact. seeking for exhilaration is a really common feature among adolescents. As adolescents normally focus on surveies in their age and they may experience bored of analyzing. Thus they would wish to seek for some exhilaration in order to do their live more “interesting” . Some sort of drugs may do some side effects like a sense of exhilaration after in taking them. Therefore. some adolescents would wish to take these drugs in order to derive a sense of exhilaration.
5. 4. 3 Escaping from unhappiness Harmonizing to chart2. there are 20 respondents think that “escaping from sadness” is an of import ground that cause adolescents abuse drugs. Adolescents are non mature plenty in their age so they easy develop an thought of get awaying from the world when they faced troubles. Peoples may hold hallucination or they may lose their senses after they took drugs. Therefore. some adolescents would wish to take drugs so as to bury their unhappiness and bask the hyper feeling brought by taking drugs. Therefore. these adolescents abuse drugs in order to get away from their unhappiness in world.
5. 4. 4 Others All of the respondents chosen others believe that the chief ground that causes drug maltreatment is wonder. Adolescents normally feel really funny about different things that they have non tried before. At the same clip. many grownups emphasis that drug maltreatment would do great injury towards their personal 10
development. Hence. adolescents would be more funny about drug maltreatment so they would seek to mistreat drugs due to wonder.

Chart 4
Harmonizing to Chart 3. all of the 43 respondents believe that drug maltreatment will convey some negative effects towards the society. Drug maltreatment would do great harm towards wellness of the drug nuts. Therefore. these drug nuts may non able to go on with their work or impact their public presentation in working after they abuse drugs. This will rebelliously cut down the productiveness of Hong Kong.
Furthermore. drug maltreatment will do great harm towards the wellness of drug nuts. Then. they need to see the physicians often to have medical intervention. This would put a heavy load of medical services in Hong Kong. It will besides increase the medical outgo which may cut down the outgo spend o other development. Therefore. it will decelerate down economic development.
On the other manus. drug nuts are non able to command themselves due to the side effects of drugs. Therefore. they may execute some unsafe behaviour after they take drugs like traversing the route without sing the status of paving. This will increase the hazard of accidents. It is besides really unsafe if these drug nuts to drive autos after mistreating drugs. This could besides increase the hazard of auto accidents which place a serious menace towards the security system of Hong Kong. Therefore. drug maltreatment would decidedly pealing tonss of negative impacts towards the society.
On the other manus. harmonizing to chart 4. 39 respondents think that drug maltreatment would take to addiction. Drug dependence is a dependance on illegal drugs or medicines. Once people had tried taking drugs. they could barely defy the enticement of taking drugs once more and once more. 4Actually. drug dependence is a chronic. frequently get worsing encephalon disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and usage. despite harmful
4
Understanding of drug maltreatment and drug dependence hypertext transfer protocol: //drugabuse. gov/infofacts/understand. hypertext markup language 12
effects to the addicted person and to those around him or her. Although the initial determination to take drugs is voluntary for most people. the encephalon alterations that occur over clip challenge a person’s ego control and ability to defy intense urges pressing them to take drugs. Once they stop in taking drugs. the side effects of taking these drugs like crossness and freak out would look more often which would do great hurting onto the drug nuts. If adolescent drug addicts become addict onto drugs. this would non merely do harm to their wellness. As these adolescent drug nuts besides has to often in return drugs if they addicted onto drugs.
Furthermore. the cost of drugs is truly expansive so it will put a really heavy economic load towards these adolescent drug nuts. Besides. if they are addicted into drugs. they will set their full attending onto drugs. Then they would non able to concentrate onto their surveies when they addicted onto drugs. Therefore. dependence onto drugs would severely impact the personal growing and development.
Furthermore. there are 25 of respondents think that drug maltreatment would do waning of memory. Peoples would barely retrieve things. They would be really unretentive. Drug nuts who suffered from this side effects caused by mistreating drugs could ne’er be recovered. It is because the ground that people become unretentive after mistreating drugs is due to the harm of some tissues and cell in the encephalon. The drugs that in took by drug nuts would damage their encephalon cells or tissues which cause the loss of memory. Therefore. people could barely retrieve things in this state of affairs. This would greatly impact the day-to-day activities of the drug nuts.
They could barely complete their work when they suffered from this side consequence. If adolescents in return these drugs and develop this side effects. this would severely impact their surveies. The worst instance is that these adolescent drug nuts could non go on with their surveies. Therefore. waning of memory is a long term effects onto the drug nuts which are non able to retrieve everlastingly. Therefore. this would besides do serious bad effects onto their future calling. Therefore. waning of memory is truly a serious negative consequence of drug maltreatment which would severely impact the personal growing and development of adolescents. 13
In add-on. there is 20 respondents chose “depression” as one of the bad effects of drug maltreatment. Actually. certain drugs may lend to the etiology of depressive symptoms and depressive upsets. Drug nuts would easy experience down after they took these drugs. Besides. when the hyper feeling brought by the drugs passed. drug nuts would experience much depressed. It is because they need to be back to the world which may hold many troubles.
The drug nuts may do depression in when they were back to the cruel world. If adolescent drug nuts often feel depressed. they may easy take other ways to assist them to work out this job which is suicide. As adolescents is non mature plenty in managing depression. so they would easy come up the thought of self-destruction in order to assist them to get away from unhappiness. Therefore. depression would do serious bad effects onto the personal growing and development of adolescents.

clip that of completing a group work undertaking.

I can complete my undertaking every bit shortly as possible. However. I am wholly incorrect. There are many troubles I faced during the undertaking. I found it hard to place the utile information about adolescent drug maltreatment from a long transition of article. It took a long clip to read through the beginnings and pull out utile information from them. The techniques taught by instructor in taking articles helped me to salvage up the clip for reading useless articles.
Besides. most of the information about adolescent drug maltreatment is secondary beginning. Therefore. I have to happen some primary beginnings so as to enable my undertaking to be a more comprehensive undertaking. Then.
