Young people are said to exhibit exuberance characteristic of their youthful age. But sometimes they lack courage and resort to performance enhancing substance to boost their moral. That is why majority of drug abusers are youngsters. Those l refer to as youngsters are youths within the ages of 15 and 25 years. People within this age are overly controlled by ego. However, a good number of them may manifest rare maturity but that does not negate the fact that most of them act impulsively. The desire to act courageously causes many of them to take what they should not ordinarily consume. Some of these youths take just alcohol. But after taking alcohol for a long time, its effect on them reduces. So they begin to look for something stronger that can stimulate them. Hence, many resort to taking valium, promethazine, librium and laxotan etc. But recently, due to government clampdown, most of these drugs cannot be obtained without doctors prescription. However, a new drug known as thramadol has been introduced. And many youngsters take solace to it because it gives them the required dutch courage. These youths enjoy the euphoria of consuming same oblivious of harm it does to their bodies. Ironically, at this age; they will not feel its noxious effect. The effect will begin to manifest at a middle age. Obviously, at middle age, those who had saturated their bodies with harmful chemicals and substances won't have the kind of good health that people who hadn't abused their bodies enjoy. At middle age, people embrace a different approach to life. Undoubtedly, people begin to cherish life and desire longevity. But one cannot eat ones cake and still have it.
