We need to show love and emotional support to students

In one study, 45% of respondents said peer pressure led them to substance use. Easy access (21%) and a desire to experiment (17%) also played big roles.

Students need adults who listen without judgement. Regular conversations, safe spaces in school and early counselling make a real difference.
