Do young drug abusers need more support?
A 13-old-girl who was partying in a Mong Kok nightclub died after taking an overdose of the party drug ecstasy.
In another incident, five Hong Kong students were arrested for drug-related offences.
I think we need to look seriously at drug abuse by young people.
One major problem is that most youngsters find it easy to get drugs if they want them.
Some people will be tempted to start taking drugs because they want to gain peer acceptance.
Also, so much is asked of our young people. They have to compete for Form Six and university places. They have many exercises to do in class and lots of homework. Many of them struggle to keep up.
