1. Differentiate tolerance from withdrawal syndrome.
Tolerance in drugs means a person taking larger and larger doses every time to secure the desired effects of the drug. This is because the first amounts have quickly been recognized by the body as too small. Tolerance is the need to take more and more, increasing the amount each time.
Withdrawal syndrome is a hard violent feeling when one does not receive enough dosage of the drug within 6-24 hours. Hallucinations, stomach pains, vomiting and convulsions may be experienced. The intensity of the withdrawal varies with the amount of drug used and the duration of drug dependence. In extreme cases, death will occur.

2. Why are narcotics prohibited?
Narcotics are called hard drugs. They are drugs which relieve pain and produce profound sleep. However, the improper usage of narcotics is very dangerous, for it needs guidance of a doctor. A slight mistake in the use of narcotics could lead to tolerance and eventually dependence on prohibited drugs. The careless use of narcotics could lead to drowsiness, change in mood, mental clouding, lethargy, unconsciousness, and eventually death.

3. How can the use of narcotics be avoided?
The use of narcotics could be avoided by being informed, aware, and understanding what they are and what their effects are. Usually, drugs nowadays are at parties, smuggled in streets, and even in schools.
It can be avoided because it can be refused. It all depends on the choice of a person and his/her knowledge about the bad effects that comes after using it.

4. Give your reaction on the question, “What
will you do when you are offered narcotics?”
I’ll refuse. Simple as that. No one and I mean no one can and will be able to make me do something I do not want to do. I don’t give in to peer pressure especially if I know what I’m doing is right.

5. Why are the family, school, and community
important agencies in preventing/controlling prohibited drugs?
Proper guidance of the youth is very important. Proper guidance includes the dissemination of information about drug abuse, the monitored exchanges, the values, and the provision of love.
The family, the school, and the community are three of the most important influencers when it comes to drug abuse. When teenagers receive little love or happiness from family members or friends from school, they tend to love for those things somewhere else. Sometimes, they look for it in drugs. These said agencies have a huge impact in teaching how teenagers should react and how they should live.

7. Who should make decisions when there is a
problem in life? Why?
People should make the decisions when there are problems in life. They should make the decision to face the problem and work their way towards a solution. Problems do not disappear, they will always be there. But, every second of every day is a chance to change, a chance to learn from failure, and a chance to try again.
You do not escape from reality because even if you try to, it will always come crashing back to your face. The only solution is, facing the problem head on.
