Guiding Children on use of Medicines(drugs)



I am specially inclined to explain the problem of a boy who was attaining the manhood,  only because he was very close relative of mine, who suffered this problem  and lost his youngest son at the age of  19 years. After having unsuccessful in studies he was humiliated by all family members( particularly one lady member of the family) at any given point of time One fine morning he promised everyone that he shall come to the level of studies as expected from everybody in the house.  Unfortunately, he developed stomach ache  at midnight. Thanks God the family doctor was instantly  available  who injected him a pain killer  known as Pethidine.  This was known as a pain killer  medicine . If repeated at number of times it becomes immune  to its effects. In simple words it stops function as pain killer. Repeated doses regularly taken  for prolonged period culminates the habit of addiction. That is what happened with this boy and he enhanced  his doses of any kind of abusive substance he was able to lay hands The condition of health went on deteriorating. Even than he continued use of  abusive drugs. When pethidine  became  immune , he searched  for other alternatives  and soon found  a Tablet known as LSD(lysergic acid diethylamide) a sort of medicine which also helped him as  compensation of Pethidine. For procuring such drugs money was needed  moreover some of drugs were under the restricted schedule and could be bought only on the prescription of a qualified doctor, but were easily available if more than retail price is paid. For want of money, this young person started stealing money from home. In absence of case cash money, he started stealing valuables which were sold to junk dealers at a throwaway price only to be able to purchase drugs to which he became addicted. When his actions became unbearable by family members he was asked to leave the home and do not show his face to them again.(because of one lady member of the family who was enjoying  all rights like an administrator only because this family was dependent on the income of her husband who latterly also died because of excessive use of alcohol). As such this young person of 19years of age was exiled from the house only because of his drug addictions. After  being pushed out forcibly from the house  this man  became a street child. With no shelter sleeping under the open sky even during chilling winters, nothing to eat. Even his mother was not permitted to meet him or provide him any help(because of the restrictions of the administrator  lady).

This situation arose only because one of the adult family members (husband of the administrator 's wife) was also a chronic alcoholic and under the rage of intoxication he also used to create horrible situations in the house. In order to keep him calm everyone in the family used to keep quiet and do nothing which may make him furious. Otherwise steps could have been taken to provide him de-addiction treatments. But because of the adult alcoholic member of the family(and the administrative lady)  no corrective steps were taken for the proper treatment of the boy and he was isolated to face all his problems himself.   In such circumstances, he decided to go down in the world of ecstasy and recreational state of mind. He experimented to face the adverse effects of a further elevated substance known as Mnadrax . After a couple of years remaining exiled from the house. This young person died on the doorsteps of his house.  The reason excessive use of drugs (used as medicines).
