Dear Editor,
I am writing with regard to the increasingly acute problem of
drug abuse among teenagers in Hong Kong. That the number of young
drug abusers continues to climb in the territory is terribly worrying.
Not only are there more teenagers becoming addicted to drugs, but
there are also more kinds of drugs being abused and it is now even
easier for teenagers to get hold of drugs. Society, including young
people themselves, needs to urgently address this challenge and create
a better future for young people.
First and foremost, with a sizeable amount of resources at
its disposal, the government should allocate more of its resources to
deal with the issue. Special training should be given to social workers
as well as teachers in order to equip them with sufficient knowledge
about drugs and drug abuse and to up skill these professionals to
enable them to better deal with teenage drug abusers. Through training,
social workers and teachers would be aware of the latest developments
in the field of drug abuse, such as the drugs currently being used and
the trends in cross-border drug dealing. Without such knowledge,
social workers and teachers cannot help combat the problem.
At the same time, schools, with the aid of social workers,
ought to promote the anti-drug message. Talks and seminars should be
held to teach youngster about the consequence of drug abuse, such as
the damage to their kidneys, heart and brain. Students should also be
warned not to become involved in drug-related crimes, for example
