Abstract

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: There is a question that crosses the mind: Is the addict a criminal, an evil or morally deviant and we have to punish him and expel him from our lives Or has he become a victim of certain factors and circumstances and is now sick- as is the case of people with cancer- and needs someone to help and save him from what he is in and look for the best treatment until he is fully recovered?
METHOD AND FINDING: As a result of fear for the reputation of the family in front of people, and instead of saving their children and looking for specialists in this field, some parents may deal with selfishness and adopt one of two negative methods of education in dealing with their addicted teenagers. First: Extreme cruelty such as contempt, beating, and expulsion from the home. Second: Severe neglect, non-involvement, and disregard for the wrong behaviors of children. That is why, as a matter of responsibility, we have searched this area for many years to save our children from all kinds of addictions. This guide is for parents and educators as it addresses the phenomenon of addictions in teenage years, examines the reasons why teenagers resort to addiction in order to avoid it, and studies the negative effects of addiction. It is intended to guide readers to educational, psychological, behavioral, social, and religious methods to treat each type individually.
CONCLUSION: We have to change the way we think and consider the addict to be a sick person, not a pervert, who does not like and does not prefer the situation he is in. At the same time, we must consider that he has been trapped in addiction and cannot get rid of what he suffers from on his own.
