The Family and the Community


What would happen to the family?

The family might have internal problems and parents might file a divorce. There will be a shortage of money, because the person taking the drugs will constantly ask for money. Also they might be isolated from friends and other family members. Also the cost of medical care and the paper work is someone dies. These are the major consequences that would happen to a family is someone was taking drugs.

How would your family deal with the individual?

The family can deal with the individual in many ways. Firstly they can ignore them or consult a professional. They could also pay for them to go to a rehab center. They could confine them to the house, or in some extreme cases, they could even disown the child. However, this could cause a change in the perspective and emotions the family feels about that particular person. The individual however, must be willing to cooperate, otherwise confronting them might be hard, and the consequences severe.

How would this effect the community?

People won’t want to mix with the family and your friend’s perspective about you would change. Also friends can be influenced by your actions, so the cycle starts again.
