The teenage drug abuse problem has become serious.

There have been a number of news reports about youngsters selling and taking drugs in schools and at entertainment venues.

Some people have suggested the need to have compulsory drug tests in schools, however, I do not think this is a good idea.

Having compulsory tests will undermine any harmony that exists in a school environment.

Such tests will also put teachers in a difficult position.

It will force them to question their role in the school.
