Conclusion

The review of related literature was able to concretize the actual surveys conducted by the NIDA and other socio-civic groups about the statistics of drug use among high school students . However , contrary to perceived notions , the number or level of

drug usage may not be always in consonance with the actual survey conducted by the researcher because of various reasons . Some respondents do not want to answer the survey questions provided and for those respondents who have answered them they may have not actually answered the survey questions honestly and this may affect the statistics and comparison which will be used by the researcher

Conducting the actual survey and finishing the research would mean that the researcher has to conduct the surveys randomly and should increase the number of respondents . The respondents must not only be limited to a particular demographic area but should at least cover various key areas in the state

The information gathered in the research would actually be helpful for further research regarding the prevalence of drug usage among high school students and in formulating key policies regarding drug abuse among young people . Moreover , the study may also be among the other studies conducted which will identify which drugs which should be legalized or not
