First of all, lets thank to Allah SWT, who has been giving us much mercies, hence we can meet each other in this class. OK, Im standing here; I want to speak in front of you by the title: SAY NO TO DRUGS Dear Young Generation Thousands of young men have wasted their lives because of drugs in Indonesia. In the capital city of Jakarta, it is estimated that three out of ten young people are users. A study by the International Labor Organization (ILO) office in Indonesia showed that around 4 % of drug users in Indonesia are children under 17 years old. Two out of ten users are involved in illicit trafficking. Some teenagers start being involved in producing and trafficking drugs between the ages of 13 and 15. Chairman of the National Narcotics Coordinating Board said that the drug users in this country is estimated around 7,000 junior high school students, over 10,000 senior high school students and about 800 elementary school students. Dear Young Generation People usually take drugs to have fun or escape the pressures of life. Drug users among students are particularly worrying. It was reported that a number of traffickers operate around schools by cheating, forcing or giving free drugs to students. Once the students are addicted, then they go to the traffickers to buy the drugs. If they do not have money, they steal it from their family members or others. Dear Young Generation The facts above showed us how familiar Narkoba issues in our young generation. First we should know what is the meaning of drugs addiction? Drug addiction is a complex brain disease. It is characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking, and use that persist even in the face of extremely negative consequences. Drug seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a result of the effects of prolonged drug use on brain functioning and, thus, on behavior. For many people, drug addiction becomes chronic, with relapses possible even after long periods of abstinence. The Definition confirm us how serious the consequences of using Drugs. Then, what can we do as the young generation? Prevention is better than cure. AVOID the Drugs, dont ever think to try just because you curios. Because once you try, you will be trapped and later become addicted, and the addiction will finally turn you into criminals or take your lives. We have so many examples around us, what happened to the users. Some become crazy, some was going to the jail, and the others were died. All of them loose their future. I believe we dont want such things happened to ourselves. The Young Generation, now its time for us to say NO to drugs. Its time for us to arrange our future. Its time for us to face the world with our ability. Its time for us to prove that we can do something for our country, with the spirit of Indonesian Awakening Day

OK, I think its enough for me. Im sorry if there any mistake that I make. Thanks for your attention. Wabillahi taufiq wal hidayah. Wassalaamualaikum Wr. Wb.
