English Speech
“A
Better Future without Drug Abuse”
Assalamu’alaikum
Wr. Wb.
Good
Morning.
The
honorable judges and my beloved friends.
First
of all, let’s pray and thank our God ALLAH SWT who has been giving us mercy and
blessing so we can be here without any obstacles in this great occasion, our school
anniversary event. It is such an honor for me to be participating in this
speech competition, therefore today I would like to talk about “A better future
without drug abuse”.
Ladies
and gentleman,
Drug
abuse is a leading cause of teen death or injury related to car crashes,
suicides, violence, and drowning. Drug abuse or sometimes also called substance
abuse is compulsive, excessive, and self-damaging use of drugs or substances,
leading to addiction or dependence. Addiction here means that you will always
want more, and can’t stop using it. It doesn’t matter even when you have no
money to buy more drugs, your brain will not listen to you because this drugs
you were using already change your brain. These brain changes can be long
lasting and can lead you to many harmful, often self-destructive behaviors.
It
is not all you can get from using drugs. It also gives rise to serious problems
such as poor schoolwork, loss of friends, problems at home, and lasting legal
problems. Even casual use of certain drugs can cause severe health problems,
such as an overdose, kidneys failure and psychological harm like hallucinations,
memory loss, or even worse than those, death. It is true; this drug can kill
you and your future.
Therefore,
another question comes up. Why there are so many teens using drugs?
From
some research I’ve read, Teens may use a substance for many reasons. They may
do it because they want to fit in with friends or certain group, a need to
looking cool in front of their friends, and some teens only using drugs because
it seems exciting. It is really pathetic, how they ruin their life and their
future by using drug for such stupid reason.
That’s
why I will ask all of you here; do you think it's worth it to trade your life,
to destroy your entire future, and to let your parents down only for some
drugs? You won’t have any chance to go to college, and the more important thing
you won’t have a life to live anymore. It is all because of drug abuse.
So
how do you prevent drug abuse as a teenager? There is a simple way to do that.
And that is to keep your life busy with meaningful activities, such as sports,
Islamic organization, language and music class, and so on. Make friends with
people who like you for who you are, and not with the people who change you for
worst. Let’s fight together for a better future without drug abuse!
Thank
you very much for your attention.
Wassalamu’alaikum
Wr. Wb.
