Assalamualaikum warahmatullahiwabarakatuh Good evening all of My friends. Thanks for the chance who has been given to me.

The honorable my Englishs Teacher and all the audiences that present here. Thousands of young men have wasted their lives because of illicit drugs in our country, Indonesia. They were mostly victims of a cruel environment, a broken-home family, of ignorance, of curiosity or particularly of the illegal drugs mafia. It is estimated that around 4 million people in Indonesia illicit drug users about one in every 50 Indonesians. Chairman of the National Narcotics Coordinating Board said that the countrys illicit drug users include around 7,000 junior high school students, over 10,000 senior high school students and about 800 elementary school students. Ladies and Gentlements 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 illicit drugs to students. Once the students are addicted, they then go to the traffickers to buy the illicit drugs. If they do not have money, they steal it from their family members or others. Drugs is the Indonesian term for narcotics, psychotropic and addictive substances. Psychotropic substances popularly called Ecstasy and Shabu-shabu are considered favorites among the middle and upper class users. However, for an increasing number of young people, the drug of choice is low-grade heroin, known as putaw, which is cheap, plentiful, but potentially deadly. These drugs are readily available in all major urban areas, including schools, Karaoke lounges, bars, cafes, discotheques, nightclubs, and they even spread into remote villages. Therefore it is not surprising that drug users continue to increase from year to year. Ladies and Gentlements Drug abuse has also contributed to the increase of HIV/AIDS patients, through the usage of unsterile injections. According to a report based on an illicit drug and injection safety study of 20 Asian countries conducted by the Center for Harm Reduction in Australias Burnet Institute, drug injecting is spreading to all the countries [of Asia] and its popularity is increasing. Our Country, Indonesia have up to 1 million drug injectors, and 19% of them were infected HIV/AIDS. How Dangerous the drugs abuse for us. 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.
