Thousands
of young men have wasted their lives because of illicit drugs in our country,
Indonesia. They were mostly victims of a ‘cruel’ environment, a broken-home
family, of ignorance, of curiosity or particularly of the illegal drugs mafia.
It is estimated that around 4 million people in Indonesia illicit drugs users –
about one in every 50 Indonesians. In the capital city of Jakarta, it is
estimated that three out of ten young people are users. A study by
International Labor Organization (ILO) office in Indonesia showed that around
four per cent of illicit drugs users in the country are children under 17 years
old. Two out of ten users are involved in producing and trafficking involved in
producing and trafficking drugs between the ages of 13 and 15. Chairman of the
National Narcotics Coordinating Board said the country’s illicit drug users
include around 7.000 junior high school student, over 10.000 senior high school
students and about 800 elementary school students.

People
usually take drugs to have fun or escape the pressures of life. Drug users
among students are particularly worrying. It was reported that a number of
traffickers operate around schools by cheating, forcing or giving free illicit
drugs to students. Once the students are addicted, they then go to the
traffickers to buy the illicit drugs. If they do not have money, they steal it
from their family members or others. Narkoba is Indonesia term for narcotics,
psychotropic and addictive substances. Psychotropic substances popularly called
Ecstasy and Shabu-shabu are considered favorites among the middle and upper
class users. However, for an increasing number of young people, the drug of
choice is low-grade heroin, known as putaw, which is cheap, plentiful, but
potentially deadly. These drugs are readily available in all major urban areas,
including schools, karaoke loungers, bars, cafes, Discotheques, nightclubs, and
they even spread into remote villages. Therefore it is not surprising that drug
users continue to increase from year to year.

The
facts above showed us how familiar. “Narkoba” issues in our young generation.
First we should know what’s the meaning of drugs addiction? Drugs addiction is
a complex brain disease. It is characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable,
drug craving, seeking, and use that persist even in the face of extremely
negative consequences. Drug seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a
result of the effects of prolonged drug use on brain functioning and, thus, on
behavior. For many people drug addiction becomes chronic, with relapses
possible even after long periods of abstinence. The definition confirm us how
serious the consequences of using drugs.

Drug
abuse has also contributed to the increase of HIV/AIDS patients, through the
usage of unsterile injections. According to a report based on an illicit drug
and injection safety study 0f 20 Asian countries (of Asia) and its popularity
is increasing our Country, Indonesia have up to 1 million drug injectors, and
19% of them were infected HIV/AIDS. How dangerous the drugs abuse for us.

Especially
the young generation.
This
is an extremely serious issue for us. It’s a threat that could kill an entire
generation. One generation of this nation will be lost if we do not take action
together and immediately. In short, we must be ready to go to war against
illicit drugs and the war must start from home.
Then,
what can we do as the young generation? Prevention is better than cure. AVOID
the drugs, don’t ever think to try just because you curious, because once you
try, you will be trapped and later become addicted, and the addiction will
finally turn you into criminals or take your lives. We have so many example
around us, what happened to the users. Some become crazy, some was going to the
jail, and the others were died. All of them loose their future. I believe we
don’t want such things happened to ourselves.
The
Young Generation
Now its time for us to say “NO TO DRUGS”.
It’s time for us to arrange our future. It’s time for us to face the world with
our ability. It’s time for us to prove that we can do something for our
country. With the spirit of “INDONESIAN AWAKENING DAY”
I
think, that’s all my speech. Hopefully, it will be useful for all of us. Thank
you very much for your attention.
Wassalamua
