Abstract
Drug abuse amongst the global youth population has become a serious problem affecting
everyone. Addiction leads many people, young people prominent amongst them, into
downward spiral of hopelessness that in some cases ends fatal. They range from glue- sniffing
street children and teenage ecstasy users, to hard core heroin and cocaine addicts (Nacada,
2005). Drug abuse is responsible for lost wages, destruction of property in schools, soaring
health care costs and broken families. It is a problem which affects us all as parents, children,
teachers, government officials, taxpayers and workers.
