In our modern life, social evils are widespread, which poses a big threat to people. One evil that causes a big concern to the whole society is drug-taking, for the number of young addicts is increasing. In my opinion, there are three urgent actions which should be done to prevent young people from using drugs.

        Firstly, it is necessary to create a good living environment for the young. In order to do that, parents should take care of their children so that they can feel the warm atmosphere of their family. Schools should also create exciting extra-curriculum activities such as sports, music contests, etc involving students’ attendance and interest. With good care of their parents and schools, the young can avoid the temptation of drugs.

       Secondly, there must be strict punishments set for both drug sellers and buyers. A good living environment alone cannot work effectively because evildoers have various tricks to seduce young people to get addicted to drugs. However, for fear of incurring punishments, fewer people will involve themselves in illegal drug-selling and taking. As a result, strict punishments obviously lessen the severity of illegal drug-taking.

       Lastly, the operation of entertaining places where the young often gather such as bars, dance floors, etc should be paid close attention to because bad people often take advantage of these places to sell drugs. If we keep a keen eye on their operation, drug sellers will be detected, and they will have no chances to entice young people. Therefore, that young people take drugs is avoidable.

       In general, creating a good living environment, setting strict punishments and controlling the operations of entertaining places for young people are essential if we want to protect them from harmful effects of drugs. It will not only help young people lead a healthy life but also eliminate the whole society’s big concern.
