There are figures of around 28-30 years
where youth are getting into trouble with drugs.
I can say that now around 10
million people in Pakistan's total
population are addicted to drugs, or it could be even more. The reason
behind this was exam pressure,
family pressure. Because of which, if you do
n't score good marks, this will happen. You can say that
all these drugs are from someone or the other,
directly or indirectly as a fashion,
because of pressure from friends. I have
also seen people
selling even the smallest things in their house, why to take drugs.
I have seen such parents whose father
and mother themselves give money to the child, so that no
one knows, go and get the drugs. Which
types of drugs are the most consumed at this time?

Assalam Walekum Nazreen.
Once again in our programme Baagban,
Khushamdid Baagban is a training programme,
where we especially make the parents
familiar with the subject of training. They also teach their children and guide them on
how to give proper upbringing to their children. While on
one hand it is
necessary to teach good values and good morals
to children so that they
can play a good role in their society, on the
other hand, protecting children from riots and
difficulties is also a part of upbringing.
This is what the Quran has called Taqwa ka
Taqwa, that is, safe life. And the
life of a human being should be safe both
spiritually and physically.
Just as the human soul gets many
diseases which are natural,
similarly the body also gets many diseases
which are natural. Some diseases are such
which are not in the control of the human being.
It happens due to negligence or
due to his negligence, bacteria, viruses
and different types of germs which are present inside him
enter inside and
harm the body. But there are some diseases
which are completely natural and occur
very rarely. With age, a person moves towards it
and then it takes the form of a disease
inside him.
One of those diseases or problems which is
very common in our country at this time is
drug addiction, i.e. consuming intoxicants and substances for mental
abuse, which is
a problem in the whole world and often in cases of
drug trafficking, i.e., those who trade in drugs, are
punished with death.
It is considered a crime so serious that it is the biggest problem
of this substance. The biggest problem with this substance is that young
people often get addicted to it.
Young people get addicted to it and if we
look at the statistics, then almost every youth
in Pakistan, I don't know how
deep the statistics are, but we
get figures of around 28-30%, where young people
get into trouble because of drugs. Now,
drugs have also come in many forms, one is the
old one which was traditional, which is called cannabis, which is
called charas, which people used to take
so that they remain silent and forget their sorrows,
but now its new in-house laboratory
made There are also versions, it is a very important topic for the
father, especially our effort today will be to
guide the fathers as to
how
they can save their children from this world's mischief when this time comes and
secondly, God forbid, if someone has got this
disease, if a child or a youth has become a drug
addict, then how should he be
treated and at the same time we will
also try to know what are those
things that a youth who is from a good family,
educated family and belongs to a
religious family, in spite of that
he still gets involved in it. As always,
today also we have two special guests with us,
first of all we have with us Syed Zulfiqar Hussain
sahab who is the Director of Drug Advisory Training
Hub, Alam wa'laikum, thank you very much for taking the
trouble and this topic is absolutely related to you and
Inshallah our full effort is that
we will listen to you often and the viewers would like to
know what kind of problem this is
and And I believe that it is a service
to the community that if we warn you and if
someone is saved or someone is saved because of our warning, then it will be
a great favor, Insha Allah.
And with us is our respected Amina Malik
Sahiba, who is a psychologist, she is in Jina Hospital and
also in Farooq Hospital, and Insha Allah, we alam
waaleekum, we would also be pleased to hear from you here that
nafsically, the nafs background of this issue
and the nafs difficulties that
not only those youth face, but also later on,
what their parents face, when
a youth gets involved in this, then
how is it managed,
we will talk to you today, Insha Allah, on these topics,
but before we continue the series of questions,
we will take a small break, keep
watching the program
Baaghban, welcome back viewers, once again in
our program Baaghban,
our topic today is drug addiction among youth
and teenagers, what are its causes
And what is the way to save our
children, our generations from this? We are moving
towards our guests and my first
question to Sulfiqar Hussain sahab would be that
first of all we would like to know this, the audience would like to
know the
basic information of drug addiction, i.e.,
in which age group of children it is more, which
type of drugs are consumed the most at this time,
how are they available,
how easily are they available,
I would like to know this basic information from you first.
Thank you very much. You have two very good questions
in your conversation. The first question is,
which age group of people are these and among them,
because when we define children,
they are up to about 18 years of age and from 18 years
onwards, our youth is included, so there is no
doubt that Pakistan, which is a
big country, the recent census has
about 23-24 crore people, if we
talk in terms of Dad Shamar,
I talk about the Government of Pakistan, the
2013 census, in terms of drugs,
this has been found in it. We were told that 6.7 million
people are using hard and clean drugs,
including
alcohol and at that time, there were no tests for such addiction.
Being an expert, I can say that
now about 10 million people are addicted to
drugs in the total population of Pakistan
or it may be even more. The
government is conducting a survey and
its report will come in three to five months and
almost all the new drugs have been included in it. The
current situation is
very serious especially with regard to children. That is
why whatever I will say will be
evidence based because I have
spent many years in this field. The
latest situation at this time is that addiction is increasing a lot among
children below 18 years of age and among young people.
You see, the
cases that come to me or I
go to different educational institutions, especially
schools and the children of upper level, O level and A level, the
addiction is very high in them and then
there is addiction in middle and upper class children as
well, but their reason for using drugs is that they have a tendency to use drugs.
Now what are the different
drugs in it? With time, changes have also come in addiction.
Organic drug and
synthetic drug. Organic drug in which you have
opium, our hash is an organic
drug. But after that, there are
a lot of chemical drugs in which there is ice,
SC LSD tablets, Heron, after that,
other drugs which are organic in which has
hash is also opium, alcohol and different
injections, pharmaceutical drugs.
Almost all these drugs are
used by children and now there is nothing
hidden in this. We should hide it or say such and such thing.
No, I am talking about the areas of Lahore,
where the middle class people live,
where our Pathan people of morning and evening live.
Their children
bring snuff puri and
distribute it to everyone during recess time or break time.
Then the children bring cigarettes, E cigarette,
Peacock cigarette which is cold. Now, the upper class
children who are studying in O level, A level,
our Defence Baria Valencia, Burki Road,
Bedia. All the societies on Road Rai Road,
Model Town Gulbarg, their
children either use e-cigarettes or they have
vaping and after that these children who
especially use ice and
also use SC LSD tablets,
this is increasing rapidly among children today.
What pleasure do they get from this,
what pleasure do they get, what state do they form
after taking it, there is
a common thing in addiction that the addiction
you get in the first dose, any
kind of drugs, whether it is SC LSD
tablets, alcohol, opium bunchers, ice,
you reach the grave to take that addiction, that is,
your body does
not get that addiction, then gradually you
increase the dose of children, you can see this
as a fashion, you can see in
many areas of Lahore where there are
shops near schools, when there is recess, there is
so much ruckus on that shop, if you see,
children are using cigarettes,
now we have the cigarette law
but there is no implementation, now the
child who is taking the addiction is taking cigarettes. No,
now he doesn't know that, if a friend is using drugs, he also
comes to church, the church gives him a little status,
he also becomes a status symbol, no
friend, I will say a little more now because generally
in childhood, you have a
desire to grow up and to become big and to
show off, so
in that desire to show off, you also use drugs,
after drugs, then gradually when
you go
further, then nowadays there are a
lot of nicotine patches, nowadays nicotine patches are increasing very rapidly among boys and
girls, especially girls in schools who are
studying in upper class and O level,
almost you can say that all these drugs are due to
some or the other thing, directly or
indirectly as a fashion, due to
pressure from friends, due to family background, etc.
But my
question was that is there any tension or
stress, to overcome which he gets
relief or goes into a
state of unconsciousness, do you not have any such tension,
what tension does the child have? The child may have to
take money from home more, those
cases which come to us on peer-80,
especially those who are below 18 years of age,
do it because of their friends because
one thing is certain in addiction that when you do
drugs, one brings the drug, the second
provides the place, the
third brings new friends and the fourth one
spends the money and
when all this happens, all of you do this exercise together,
I will come to your side here, madam,
as
Aakar sahab said, basically the peer
status and the environment have an impact, so
even at the personal level, such
problems can come in a child or a young man or a teenager,
whose solution he can
only look for in drugs, it is exactly like this, there are
many factors which come in the child in this way,
first of all, if you see
that if a child is getting addicted, then
why is he doing it, first of all, there can be your family
issues, there can be family conflicts,
secondly, which is a very big factor of yours, the
environmental factor is one of the home.
One factor is your peer pressure, now
in the peer family, you can do a little ups and downs, if the
family is explaining or there is a
little support from the family, or if someone's
parents are middle class, then those parents will be a
little strict, they will keep a little no how about
where the child is going, what he is
doing, what is not, okay, if the
child is from the elite class, then those parents from the
elite class leave the children alone,
they do
not care at all about what their child is doing, what is
their child not doing, so
first of all, you have peer pressure,
in peer pressure, the children are
meeting friends, if someone has
smoked a little, they will say, okay,
you also smoke, taste it a little,
later don't smoke, if the child is saying no,
I don't want to smoke, then four or
five friends are sitting together, come on,
smoke a little, take a puff or a little like this,
and when they pressurize the
children, they take one puff and say, friend, okay, for the
first time, he will feel a little that I should
not do it, I will do it for the last time. I am doing it for the first time and the
last time, I will take it the second time, even then under
pressure when I take it for the third time, he will take it
himself thinking that it is
not creating much of a problem, I took it today and yesterday also, there was no
problem, so I will take it like this,
then chain by chain, the same as sir said,
first there is cigarette, then in that way
slowly and slowly like other electronic things,
like vaping, but in cigarette there is a
lot of element of status that
soldiers have to show off,
they feel a heroism, they
feel bravery inside cigarette, but taking ice and tablets,
which is not even visible,
its effect is only on oneself, to
take a playful and not to enjoy, it gives
peace to your mind, now if
you take a small example,
I am at the clinic to get a
shampoo, then a girl came to me, she was
in fits, she was having fits,
foam was coming out of her mouth, so I
stabilized her a little, after stabilizing her, I
talked to her a little. So I came to know that the
reason behind this was exam pressure and family pressure that if you do
n't pass then this will happen, if you do
n't score good marks then this will happen and
due to that pressure she started taking ice and
she started taking other vapes like this too. There were
some effects on her body and
her body could not bear this pressure
and she started having attacks and epilepsy.
These are the factors that disturb your body
too, now what was there in your mind, there was
family pressure, there was school
pressure and there was the rush for marks, so
due to this the girl started taking ice under pressure,
her peer group, who were her
friends, suggested that take this,
your tension will reduce a bit, this
pressure will keep going on but you will also get peace,
that girl started taking those pills,
those pills which are of different colors, she
started taking vape and when she told me
that when I take these things then I get peace,
I don't know what I am
doing but it happens so much that
my mind is asleep and I get peace, I can't
talk to anyone. If we
reveal it, then the main fact which
people go after is a solace,
in a state of uneasiness, pleasure has to be relaxed, the
mind has to be relaxed, and because the
mind is not relaxed, it has to be relaxed
for relaxing activities, and
one more reason is that your friends offered you to
try it, let me add to what madam was talking about, that
this is for the parents as well and for the parents as
well, that
they should see the changing in their children,
what is the science of behavior changing, yes,
this was our question, how do we know, now
see, today it does not let you sleep for about 25 to 30 hours,
which is a pressure, there is a
burden of studies on you from the family
as well, there is this pressure from the family, I have a
relative, her daughter is aunt's grandfather's daughter,
grandfather's son,
he scored so many marks, how many marks have you scored,
now that same friend, he should get ready
first They tell you to
use this thing, it will make you feel sleepy for a little while
and you will get the benefit. What is the
benefit? You will not be able to sleep for 30 hours, you will
remain awake, you will become isolated from the world,
your memory becomes sharp, your
studies improve, you think
that slowly you start getting addicted to it,
but it has been seen that
when one year
passes, those who take ice regularly, whether they are
under 18 years of age or older, gradually
your dependency becomes high and you
cannot live without it and then
you become a chronic ice user
and after that these three drugs,
alcohol, ice and bhang, take you towards mental disorder and
psychosis as well. There are
three such drugs in which ice is present, alcohol
and bhang, these take you
towards mental disorder and
psychosis. If
you go to any treatment center, even if it is private, there are
about 50 patients there. So there are
20 patients in it who have gone
towards mental disorder because
when you took the poisonous thing, you could not sleep for 30 hours,
you think, your thoughts
change, you are sitting, you start cleaning,
you start cleaning the walls,
you think ok I will
kill this person, I will kill my brother, all
kinds of thoughts come to your mind and you are having a very
nice conversation, doctor sahab,
we will take a small break here,
after that we will come back and we have to continue this question especially for the
parents that what are those
signs on which the parents should be on red
alert, that if this sign is
seen in the child, then it means that he is
taking drug intake, there is a practical guidance which
we have to give to the parents, we are present
after the break, viewers keep watching the
programme
Baaghban, welcome back viewers, once again in
our programme Baaghban,
our Khushamdid conversation is going on on a very important topic
which is drug addiction, till now we have understood that the
symptoms of drugs are extremely dangerous. What happens and why do children
often turn to drugs? It can be
due to peer pressure or mental stress and
educational stress and various kinds of
family problems as well. They
turn to drugs to get out of this condition, to relax or to gain extra energy. Of course, the
common drugs of today,
in our context, are ice or crystal, whatever you
call it. Our question here would be that
both of you will have an effect on the nafs.
I would like to know from you in terms of physical science and
we would like to know from you that how can
parents know about that science which is
absolutely apparent, clear and obvious,
so that it can be guessed that the
child might be taking drugs.
First of all, before knowing about the science, parents should understand
one thing that
if their child is an addict, they have come to know about it.
See,
when the mother and the father take their child in their arms, then
they should feel the pain of his breath. Through this, we come to know what
my child or daughter is doing.
When their child becomes an
addict, one should not fight with him or her, one should not
fight or quarrel,
this is the first starting step. Now
after that, what are the signs? The signs are for the
parents to see that the child used to wake up on time in the morning, used to go to
school, used to go to work, goes to
college, does not go to university. Nowadays, there has been a
change in him. He used to wake up late, used to
change his clothes daily, used to go to the
barber once a week for a haircut.
After that, check his hands to see if they are
black or not. Check if there are any
lightening under his eyes,
check his clothes, if there are any holes inside the clothes.
He often fights at home.
Why does he fight? To get money, because of
addiction. After that, the
parents should see that this child of mine wakes up at night, leaves the
house, sleeps in the morning, does
not feel like studying, talks for long
on the phone, fights with his sister,
fights with his brother, fights with his father.
Even there are such cases, I have
seen that Parents start fighting and beating each other
because of addiction.
This is that science. If the parents understand
that this is the science that these changes have happened in my child, then
you can quickly take him to
your doctor. We can say this
from a religious point of view also that when the strength is lost in a person's personality
or his character or his actions,
moderation is lost, he
starts showing abnormal behavior, at
that time it becomes the first sign that there might be a
problem. Then they
can start looking for the physical science, the
medical science that you mentioned. But there is
one more thing here, that is, the parents get
stigmatized, that is,
my reputation will be tarnished, my relatives, my neighbors get to
know about it, everything gets known at the beginning. To
save myself from that stigma and defamation, the parents
put up curtains, they themselves put up curtains. I have
seen such parents that the parents themselves
give money so that no one comes to know about it and they
go and get drugs for their child.
If you come to know about the stigma that
my child is a drug addict, then you should quickly take him to the
nearest treatment centre, first to a
doctor, to a sciatica and
counsel him. And the most
important thing is that in Punjabi it is called '
parchaai aana' (shadow), the shadow of drug addiction,
which is called 'saya', falls
on the parents as well.
Counselling of parents is also necessary. First, the child should be
treated first and then the
counselling process should be done.
Counselling of parents is very important.
How do you see what
major psychological changes are
visible in the child after which it can be guessed that he is
taking drugs? First of all, the child
starts getting anxious and
starts being timid. In the beginning, when the child is
taking such things, drugs
etc., he gets a lot of energy and his
interest also increases a bit. The
urge to work increases and becomes
stronger, but with the passage of time, it starts reducing.
Digestion starts coming,
twitching starts, he becomes an agitator,
then your behavioral change comes a
lot, the child will
fight again and again just like what Sir said, if you
say anything to him then he will talk in a very strange sense, will
give double meaning to one thing, that you are
not doing this, then you are doing that, will
not look at the parents, will
start fighting again and again on the same thing without any reason and then
because of that he will again start staying isolated, if he starts
staying isolated then his thoughts will
change, thought change, thought process will completely
change, different thoughts will start coming,
now it can be of any kind,
sometimes it goes towards psychosis which is a
very serious mental illness that your
child says that I am seeing things,
now when you are doing this kind of intoxication, when you are
taking alcohol, then you do not know
what is going on in front of you, you
get completely sidelined from reality, he says
I am seeing things, although it does not happen like that,
he says I am hearing voices. If
this does not happen then one starts getting addicted, one
starts getting dull or the mind
cannot be controlled by it. The Quran
also says that do not go near Namaz in a state of intoxication. There is no
benefit
of Namaz. You do not have any sense, you do not have any
sense, you start behaving differently,
then taking money for the same thing
and doing that thing again and again, the people who
play the biggest role in this are the parents.
Nowadays there is an issue, for example, the marriages of the youth do not
happen, they do not get
married early, so what if a youth
needs to get married but there is pressure from the family members, his
sister is not getting married or he is
not getting a girl of his choice, should he also get
addicted to such drugs, it is exactly like this,
it is such a common problem nowadays
that any patient comes to you,
if any patient is coming to you, then
he is coming under this issue that he
comes to you with such a big slip, miss, such things,
these are the issues And when we
reach the issue, the end result is that we have to get
married, because your sexual
activity happens till a certain age, you must have an idea
that it happens till a certain age, okay Allah has
also told you about this thing in his religion that at
what age you should get married, that is why he
says that you should get married timely,
when you cross that age, it
creates problems for you and in this the
biggest role of the parents is to
look after their children and when this thing does not happen
satisfactorily,
because taking drugs your
sexual activity increases and while doing it
you also get into sexual dysfunction,
we have also seen some such cases
where I will add and I
get calls from many such parents,
many of those who are getting their
daughter married, they call me for the investigation of the child that please guide us and
help us, so they tell me that please find out about the
child, he
is in active class and works in such and such office
or he has a relationship with such and such person. If it is a business, then there should be no
use of drugs. You should believe that 50% of the
children use drugs and
I thank Allah that this
responsibility should also be seen, how the parents have
handed over their responsibility to their
relatives and not to anyone else, they trust a third person,
so how do you know
that he takes it, I have been
working in this field for 35-36 years and I
thank Allah that I have
not seen the child in front of you, I see the child in front of me and tell him that we do
artificial intelligence sharing gathering of that child
because our networking
coordination is very high and I
try to go and talk to that child also
and in the same way
I have come to your office to
give a lecture on drugs, I get to
know about him from his offer
because often in corporate classes also one has to
go to educational institutions and give lectures on drugs and
people call and because of this there is a
networking, so I thank Allah that
what I tell you that
when many parents When we heard that this boy is actually
using ice and our
daughter is going to marry him, they refuse to take it, giving
some excuse or the other saying that it is
not for a child who takes this thing,
what are its long term medical and psychological effects, if seen in the long term,
if you are taking it in a very controlled behaviour,
if you are taking it in small amounts,
if you are limited to cigarettes or a small amount which cannot make
you addicted, you can leave it as well,
but if you are taking it in a higher amount
and your dopamine, that
pleasurable activity is high, you
want to take it, your body is requiring give
me more, give me more,
then when you start taking it, your body will get addicted to
that thing, your body will not work till the time
you are taking that thing in whatever
amount, till the time
your body does not get that amount, you do
not do it, then it keeps on happening with your body, it keeps on happening for a
long term and when it
becomes long term that you cannot live without it,
you cannot do anything. Yes, I have
also seen people send even the things of their house,
they sell even the smallest things in the house, because they are
ready to do anything to get intoxicated
and the same long term, we have discussed the same thing
earlier also that they
go towards mental illness, it happens physically,
what organ damage happens in physical, such
things happen, later
in physical you get plugged, your lungs get damaged,
obviously your lungs also
start getting damaged, this happens in smoking,
but if you
see the intake in that, when you take it, then you become a chronic addict,
in our definition of drugs, it is that
when you regularly take it, your dependency becomes
high, it increases, you
cannot live without it, then you become a chronic addict
and chronic addiction
happens when that period of five to six months passes,
now madam has said absolutely right, you
take it occasionally, you take it in a birthday party,
in a wedding, after two months, after four months,
we will not call him a drug user,
but when If you take it regularly, your
dependency will become high, the NSR will increase, then at that
time, I
work on the roads, gardens, parks in Lahore as well, a lot of people
sitting on the road take five injections of
pharmaceutical drugs daily and one
injection of heroine, now if we take them
for treatment and when the test result comes, then
believe me, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis,
TB, heart problems, all the diseases from A to the root, if they
come under that drug, chronic drug, the whole system gets
clogged, everything gets clogged,
because of which you do not come towards recovery, yes,
we take a break here,
Nazreen, stay with us, our wonderful discussion is
going on and Inshallah, we will
continue it after the break and we will
now talk about its solution, Inshallah, keep watching the
program
Baaghban, welcome back Nazreen, once again
in our program Baaghban,
our Khushamdid discussion was going on about drug addiction and
we understood what it is. What are the
signs that would help the parents to know whether their
child is addicted to drugs or not,
what are its consequences, how the
system of a person's body gets disturbed, gets
disturbed psychologically
and then what is that nafs or wudu hath
also due to which this child, who is
young, goes towards drugs, now
we move towards our last and important question
that Allah forbid, if someone's child is facing
this problem, he has started taking drugs, then
what should be done with him and
before that what
preventive measures should be taken to save him from this, how can
we ensure that our child does not
go towards this and keep him safe,
first of all this is that I often say one thing
that it is very important for parents to
give a friendly environment to their child,
talk to the child once a week in a friendly environment, discuss his problem,
whether he is male or female, secondly
tell this to the children and make them understand
that they should have a maximum of three friends and a
minimum of two friends. You need his
information, his family information, what
his father does, where he
lives, you need that and your image should be with that
other family, you have to control that social
circle and
then you have to pay attention to the home environment,
then you have to control your mobile
system a little,
if we are not able to control that then you have to
control that, then the
extra money that you give to your children, the children
take it with them to
school or inside the institution that there is a
party today, so and so is happening,
you should reduce that extra money that you are giving to the child, the biggest thing is that
when you discuss with the child
what his problem is, if you
talk to him in a friendly environment then many
things get solved, now if your child is an
addict, then he has become an addict now as compared to before,
no, here we
can say that we should not let a psychological problem
aggravate, that means the
biggest preventive measure for the parents themselves is that they should not do anything
with their child. I will take an irrespective
I will add one here I will add one here
I talk about a lead
class school in defence I had gone there to give a lecture I have
gone there two to four times so
after giving the lecture when I came out to go to the
principal's room
111 boys and girls stopped me
they said Sir we are in isolation I
asked you about your father he said
my father is in Saudi Arabia
one said my father
works in Islamabad he does not give us time
we live with two friends our
mother comes father comes once a month so that
circle of friends we
our parents this
attention this tension is the main skill which
can keep your children away from drugs or
and this is very kalidina Nazreen
towards which I think you should pay
attention towards children from an early age pay
attention to them pay attention to them and
it is a very
clear thing to child psychologist that excellent reward
What happens to a child is attention, there is no
better reward than that
if the parents pay attention to him, his
actions, his good deeds, then
it itself is a big reward for him and
then he becomes obedient to his parents,
he does not destroy their trust, so
you have said an important thing, a good thing
that this is a big clear message here,
but if our social
environment here today is of a status
that we have to put them in big multinational schools
where elite class children are also coming, about
whom, as you said, their
parents do not care what they do or what they don't do, on the
other hand, one has to
go to colleges and universities, the child has to do
engineering, has to get degrees, there
already exists such an environment, now when a
child comes from a good safe school, let's say the
school was good but now he has to go to college,
university where there is this
danger, then what should the parents do
as a preventive measure that how can he be
here again like what Sir said that
If from the beginning, the gap between parents and
children will not exist, the
child will know his values, he will
know his circumstances, he will
know all the moral values of his family, he will
know that I have to
walk in this way, this is my way.
Similarly, when you teach a child something in childhood, teach him
some learning, teach him some practice,
teach him anything of this kind, then it lasts for a long term
because it gets embedded in the mind of the child that I have done
this work, it
lasts till the end, he sticks to that thing, okay,
if he remembers that this is what I have to do,
okay, now there is no gap between parents and children, there is
more communication, every
parent is trying to talk to the parents instead of their friends that this is the
problem we are
facing and if the parents are
solving it, then it will be more effective
that you can avoid these things,
if you are going to college also, if that The place itself is
such that the effective measures have already been taken in it
that if this child goes there, you can make him your mayor that
I have to do this much,
if I have to make friends in college, then what should be his
values, what
rules should he have, as you yourself said that
we should control the social circle,
but won't the child become offensive,
here the parents of a youth keep so much check
and balance that who is my friend,
whom do I talk to, nowadays he is
on social media, no, you will have to do
this, sir, now there is no
second opinion in this, I will request you and the parents of your program that
you should develop the parenting skills
more in you, enhance things,
I still say, look, I
give the example of Lahore, there are about 120 places on the streets of Lahore right now,
there are about
8000 children sorry drug addicts,
go and see the condition of the children and women are
also sitting there, this is the time to come,
you will have to look at things by hook or crook,
see, Middle and upper class
parents, they do it by hook or crook,
but upper class
parents, at some stage or the other, they too,
come to know about these things, as
people of real life are saying, but when
this thinking, the good definition of parenting skill, does not
come inside you, until those things, that is,
how to take care of the children, how to
tell the children, how to do the housework, that
is, this
child who is on the mobile phone at this time, does
not even let him unlock his password, the
parent does not let him go into the room, he
tells the parents that he is in his room, he
knocks on the door, there was no
privacy in our times, parents should control this from beforehand
and they should not
get into this situation,
when you keep things under control from
beforehand, you will keep all those limits from beforehand, you will keep
a complete red line,
then you can never get into that thing,
that your little one, when you are on social media,
a little bit Many children may be ahead or behind
but the same thing is that when there is no gap, things will be
discussed and the environment of the house will be fine,
things deteriorate from home, it is from home
but for a youth you said a
good thing that parents will have to enforce
this thing, if the child is
not showing you his social contacts, has grown up, is
going to college, does not give the mobile,
you will have to enforce this, you will have to
take it, you will have to check it otherwise it can have
very damaging effects for him,
I say one thing that often we have
put a mask on our face, whether it is parents, people of the society, stakeholders, or the government, I am a part of every committee of the government, in planning we have put a mask exactly like that which is the mother's mask,
we are very happy with it sir, when you
remove it, after removing that mask
you will see what is the environment of our society, in
which direction is our society going,
we have adopted those big things,
achieved them,
built big houses,
learned to sit in big cars, when We have not learnt the etiquette and
manners, we do not know how to cover ourselves with it, we do not know
anything, so we
cannot move ahead and I say this again and again that the
time is coming, you will see that this is a drug, it is a
huge lava, it will explode like an earthquake
and we will all be swept away in it, sir, it is
not a small thing that in a population of 22-23 crore, there are
one crore drug addicts, crore drug addicts,
now the survey of the government will come, you will
see in it, the government itself will get
worried as to how do we publish the survey report, do
more, we will be
defamed in the world, if we do less, we
ourselves are worried as to how do we do it,
along with this a mafia, who wants to do business, is
also finding ways and selling
all these things, it is easy for him to do
business, so see, he will never stop, good
and evil are inseparable,
we have to see which way we have found, now for one
last question, our task is that
if someone gets seriously involved in this, then
how do we rehabilitate him, basic points,
my thought For that I have already said
that first you should establish a relationship with your doctor who is your GP.
If the
child has become a chronic addict then this is
basically a case of psychiatry. You should
take him to a psychiatrist, whatever
his method is. Either if it is serious then
admission will be for the first three months. After that there
is a process of counselling and that is for
about six to seven to eight months.
How would you tell the
parents to manage this situation? First of all, the
environment of the house should be a little normal. If someone gets addicted to it,
how should that situation be managed?
Or the same as what Sir said, if you come to know that
your child is like this, then what do we do? We
start beating him,
doing things like this too much. So we should
first support the parents. And if we are
supporting them, then the same thing that a
psychiatrist can do. This is fine. This
treatment is of a psychiatrist. You have a
treatment of four to five days. So that there is
no withdrawal from detoxification. If the child is
not able to relax then what do we do that we
take him for procedures, first four or five,
if it is very serious that you are taking it again and again, you
cannot live without it, you are having a
lot of physical symptoms, everything of yours is
coming out positive, then
how do you stop that thing, there is a treatment of five to six days,
then we give him drips
or in this way it is all a matter of the psychiatrist, he does it
and after that there are
sessions and counseling procedures, which go on for
about six to seven months,
okay and in this again the same thing happens that the
parents also have to be very humble about
which way we have to go and they
need the most support, until that is
not done, the child will also not work on that thing, the
child will also not agree or and
after this when this happens, then the parents will
also have to remove those things of theirs, which is
another thing because the matter is big,
time is less, the relaxation rate is 90 here,
you should not think that I have cured the child, the
child will stay for two months
I have seen a child like this, the patient
client leaves the treatment centre after three months and reaches
home later,
first he comes after consuming drugs, we have to take care of these things also, the way
we talk to the child, the
way he sits and stands, his upbringing, we have to
control ourselves a bit in that, so
you have to do your own
things as well while you are getting treatment, tell me one thing,
in PMH, there is
a different setup for drug addiction, so I will say about a 19
year old child, I was looking at him,
he used to take a lot of ice, he was a drug
addict, he had made cuts at many
places, one day I went to take his session, he was
locked in a room, he was
running away, so I sat outside, he
sat inside and I told him, ok
what will you do for counseling, I said ok
now we have to go from here, there is a procedure of 10 days,
so what will you do after coming out of here, I said in
a very simple way,
what will I do, I will do the same again, you guys can do whatever you
want, I will do this only, This is the thing that
till the family comes, apart from the
government setup, the family comes, they don't care about
anything. The doctors are doing
counselling of the parents during the treatment, building the relationship,
rebuilding the relationship, this is very
important. Thank you very much, you had a
wonderful conversation here, surely our
viewers, especially the parents, would have benefited from it.
Viewers, this was a very important topic,
many of whose consequences we have
tried to understand here in brief
and here, as you heard, parents play
a very important role in parenting and
those skills in parenting
should be present in the parents of today's era, so that
from the very beginning, from the very young age, the child
learns the methods of upbringing, so that your
child does not reach this stage
in the future and at the same time keep your environment under control,
see with whom your child
meets, what kind of friends he makes, what
kind of neighborhood you live in, what are your
relations. What kind of people do you have a
relationship with that those people will come to your house and
meet your children and this
circle will keep growing and then
in the future it will create problems for you.
This is a small effort of RA TV that
we do our programs on parenting and parenting skills
and we are
also trying to make these programs more structured
where we can
run it like a training program so that parents get
proper training on how to bring up their
children so that
not only a single child
but their community and their generations can be saved from such diseases
and as a result of that the country will also
progress. If there are
such youths in the country who are addicts, then
nothing can happen to that country, that country can never
progress. Therefore it is important not
only for yourself, for your children but also for
your country, your people, your nation, your religion that
you take these things seriously,
develop that mastery in yourself, understand these things
and take action on this and then Inshallah,
Allah will make you successful, this is our
effort too. May Allah give us the opportunity so that
we can continue this work further.
Till the next program, Allah
