The stage of youthfulness is being in the early stage of adulthood that comes with curiosities and doubts. It is a period of the life cycle when they are managing many complex
development tasks.
These involve significant changes in biological, physical, social, psychological, emotional, and community- related domains. To be able to understand these changes is a very challenging demand, which often come with lifelong consequences. In addition, the youth-stage is a period when youth begin to engage in high-risk behaviors. So, combining these risky behaviors with the effects of drugs can increase the vulnerability of youth to ill health and other irreversible consequences. Furthermore, most of the community conflicts, killings, banditry, kidnapping, thug-like behaviors were carried out by youth under the influence of alcohol and other drug abuse, and even under influence of drugged politicians as well.
