The growing addiction to intoxicants among youth is a grave issue, involving various substances and behaviors that contribute to this problem. When we think of addiction, two key questions arise: first, why addiction? and second, who is responsible? Most people blame peer pressure, but the causes lie deeper. Why have cigarettes and liquor bottles replaced pens in the hands of the youth? Why are the sons and daughters of the country falling into the grip of drugs? Why are common citizens succumbing to mouth and lung cancer due to substance abuse? Delving deeper reveals that the root cause is the lack of values and cultural grounding in today’s youth. This absence of values is leading their energy astray. The media headlines are filled with stories related to addiction—headlines like “Youth in the Grip of Drugs” dominate television screens.
