My first entry

Hello, I'm Katherine and this will be my lastest blog for UIR. Creating this blog will help me in learning how to create blog entries and designing of my own blog. Tell you more about myself. I'm currently in Temasek Poly studying in diploma in Information technology. This will be my last year. My CCA in school is to organise events for my school and help out in my school student union. My club name is Informatics & IT studies club. Do check out for our lastest event!

Anyway the topic that I'm suppose to research on is
Discuss the impact of drugs abuse on youths

For practical one, based on the topic that I’ve chose, I’ll have to do my research basic on the following internet resources.

-Discussion forum
-Electronic journals and magazine
-Www site

There are several websites that have related to drug abuse. However, finding according to the internet resources was tough. The websites that have related to drug abuse however do not have all websites is related to drug abuse on youths.

Here are the interesting link:

Dicussion forum: http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=9e15cc42d04754c38978b35e2371e067&f=9
This is a forum where people are able to discuss on the drug abuse related question.

Electronic journals and magazine: http://www.questia.com/read/103446455?title=Risk-Takers%3a%20Alcohol%2c%20Drugs%2c%20Sex%2c%20and%20Youth
This internet resource is an electronic journal. They included information like drug abuse on youths.

Www site: http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unyin/wpaydrug.htm
This internet resource is a www site. Basically the website is talking about drug abuse on youths. They include information such as the problem and causes of youth drug abuse.

In my own opinion, there must reason behind to these youth to abuse drugs. It can be due to poor family background, peer pressure, studies or many other reasons. The reason why I want to research on impact of drugs abuse to youth is that I want to bring the important message across to youths. Drugs is harmful and can cause death if they continue to drug abuse.
