Image SourceI have thousands of questions on my beautiful mind this morning when I checked my friend in the school hospital. She was rushed in last night for drug overdose, she couldn't breathe properly so her roommates rushed her there.
Firstly, she was my friend in the first year here in my university. She started with cooking indomie noodles and weed together. She would get high and sleep for days, missing lectures and laboratory practicals. I tried all my best to persuade her to stop but she didn't.
I stayed beside her today speechless. I watched her pale face and sick body. A question came to my mind: WHO DO WE BLAME FOR DRUG ABUSE AMONG GIRLS IN THE UNIVERSITY.
Secondly, when will this menace actually stop? I have seen girls sleep inside gutter because they are high. I have heard girls raped because they got reckless due to drug overdose. Yes, we blame someone else for our addiction or something in particular but the truth is:
The blame is on us all. We are the driver of our lives.
Many girls blame their past relationships. There are so many unfortunate relationships that has led to the increase of this menace. My sick friend was introduced to weed by her ex. He told her it would help her get smarter and bolder. What a lie! She believed this disgusting statement and it has put her in danger. The ex is probably somewhere now enjoying his day while she is fighting for her life in the hospital.
Sometimes, I want to blame the government. They must have heard of this menace. The overdose on tramdol, codeine and weed. Weed is legal in some places but not here so the government should sit tight and fight this menace. I read that the government want to ban the use of cough syrups but the truth is, it will make some people richer. It will drive the price high and people will still buy. This is a Democratic Government; Government for the people. Government should work with universities to watch the use of drugs in the schools.
Young girls should prepare for motherhood instead of putting their lives at risk. Nothing good comes out of drug abuse, i mean NOTHING GOOD. Will any girl out there pray ther her daughter live this dangerous lifestyle they are living? NO.
Sometimes I actually blame these girls' parents. Parents should check up on their daughters in school. They should meet with school's authority to know how their Ward is fairing. That fear of what their parents will find out will make them sit up.

Let us together stop drug overdose. Overdose of codeine, weed and tramadol. I wish my friend quick recovery and I hope she makes the right choice this time.
