Substance Abuse Proposal Essay

Substance abuse can have tremendous impact on teenagers’ physical health since most substances will cause strain on the organs, hormone imbalance, cancer caused by nicotine or steroid use. Also, substance abuse include mental health conditions such as anxiety, memory loss, and aggression. And their academic education will be affected too, by their addictive behavior which can lead them of not being responsible with their schools assignment.
My proposal is to provide information about the consequences of substance. Learning about substance abuse will inform teenagers and parents about this topic that they might not be aware of. Teenagers may know about substance abuse, but they might not have a deeply knowledge about the huge impact it will have on their life, which will deteriorate them. Being informed and found the adequate resources is vital for people since

knowledge about consequences that will happen can reduce drug dictions on adolescents. Since parents will be more informed about the topic and will be more prepared to deal with their teenagers children.
Also I believe that educational programs such as GED preparations, admissions college information and financial aid information could be a very helpful resource for teenagers because it will help them to think about the possibility to enroll in college.

Because when adolescents are already addictive to some substance abuse they may lose the desire to study. However, if we talk to them about college and programs, and offer help with the application process, it might be easier for them to be inspire and want to try to enroll in school.
Another program that I propose, is games activities. I truly have faith that entertainment attract youth’s attention. Activities such as bingo, play cards or monopoly are some games that adolescents like to play. These will attract them to focus in others things rather than hang out with friends and use any substance.
The last proposal is health and wellness programs information that will assist individuals embrace healthy ways to manage stress and emotions. Some healthy programs could be meditation, this will help them to reduce stress and control of their

emotion.
With my proposal, adolescents will be encouraged to study, will run away of any substance abuse by learning information about the consequences of it, they will also be motivated to come to the PILLARS center because of the entertainments in this way they will have their mind busy thinking differently, and parents will be more informed about resources that can help their children reduce or prevent any addiction.
From the proposal program teenagers will be the most beneficiated, because these programs will help them to recover from any substance abuse or reduce it. But also parents and future generations will beneficiate too. Since parents also will be educated about the adequate resources and techniques to help their children reduce the addiction or prevent them to be victims from it. Since adolescents sometimes struggles with difficulty that their parents might not know. Instead of parents yells the child or judge them by their addictive behavior they will be more sensitive and more understandable to the children.
Weekly support group for one hours will be held by parents and youths who will like to be informed about the consequences of substance abuse and the benefits of recovery. And at the same time providing information about health programs that are helpful to reduce addiction. Three hours every week will be coordinated for teens who want to take GED classes or get information about enrolling n college and financial aid.
