THIS WEEK's CONTEST:

Everyday, young people are looking for a new way to get high. They coktail different kinds of harmful substances just to achieve this. Illicit drugs use has terminated the lives of many of our youth.

Tell us your own view of this drug-craze. Let's make our youth sane again.

Please blow our minds! Cheers!!

I am just curious @air-clinic , i dont mean to offend anyone but i thought not following the instructions stated above means DISQUALIFICATION. Because I see some winners who are not following instructions with the number of words and not stating the digits at the end of the entry. Thanks!

upvoted this comment so that admin will notice my concerns. <3

I noticed this, too! It’s rule #1.

We understand you @deeday31 ,the rules have been duly followed and will always be. If at anytime you see otherwise that's because the judges deemed it so.

Ah ok, so in the end it's still up to the judges who they will choose too win and rules can be disregarded anytime . K thanks ☺

Hi, I don't know if it is deadline already or not, but I still give it a shot. This is my entry by the way.

https://steemit.com/air-clinic/@kneelyrac/air-clinic-writing-contest-12-drug-abuse-a-youth-destiny-killer-the-youth-is-the-hope-of-our-nation

Thanks so much for the opportunity. It has been a pleasure to be a part of this contest. More power to @air-clinic!

I start by using my country as an example, Nigeria
Drug craze especially in my country Nigeria has been very rampart, sometimes when I think I feel we should blame our parents for not teaching their kids, and sometimes the society for not condeming such acts, but generally I believe it lies on every individual to do the right thing. In my country Nigeria I have seen lots of drug craze oo, our youths here now smoke gums we usually use for repairing shoes, some inhale gutters to get high.
The most random one that just came in Vogue in Nigeria is youth taking methylated spirit and come in order to get high , including intake of cocaine, marijuana, Indian hemp, and lots more. It's becoming an addiction , oh my goodness... In my country Nigeria it's really an addiction for our youths . But I will blame our parents more for not imbibing the right principles and moral teachings to our youths, most of us lack home training, we lack the will to make decisions , we lack the confidence so we try to look for solace somewhere and no other place than drugs, and lastly I will blame the society for not introducing moral teachings in school, for promoting music that could lead youths to getting high on drugs, codin and lots more. I believe if we start from steemit in producing lots of anti drug craze post, that would make youths realize their mistake.
I SUPPORT ANTI DRUG CRAZE OOO, LET'S LIVE A BETTER LIFE AS YOUTHS, # CONTEST #
