Yaba Causes And Effects
Introduction
I am a private tutor and one of my student is a little girl whom I teach going to her place. Last year during the end of August, I remember going to her place one day and her maternal grandmother was staying there at that time. While I was teaching her, her grandmother suddenly started crying and was bemoaning about what happened to her family. Since I have been teaching that kid for over 2 years, I became quite close to that family. I asked her mother what happened. She then told me, her niece was “Oishi”, who was addicted to Yaba and murdered her parents. I saw how the whole family was shattered. Seeing the news over and over again in the T.V and newspaper I got all frustrated and adamantly believed her Yaba addiction ruined the whole family. It is from then, when I thought family carelessness is the main motivator to addiction. Since all the news was showing how much freedom her parents gave her and she was getting so much money I thought they were not much careful towards these things. Not only that, every now and then I see news about Yaba in the news. This seems to be one of the biggest problems in our country now. This made me think and hence I came up with the idea to do my research on Yaba.
Yaba is one of the most popularly used drugs in Bangladesh in the recent years. It has got so many street names as “BABA”, “PILL”, “GARI”, “GUTI”, “BORI”, “FERARI”, STUFF”, etc. It is a vanilla- scented small pink pill that fiercely gained huge popularity among not only the youths in this country, but also many respected persons of the society. The primary ingredient used in this drug is methamphetamine; which is the main reason for its rising power.
The focus of my research will be on the basis for which people get addicted to Yaba and if they desire to quit. Especially from 2006, taking Yaba became fashionable for the well-offs in the country. After 2011, the numbers of Yaba addicts started rising very fast. There are people who
