In today's society of Manipur, youths are subjected to many unwanted things. Yes, life is meant to be free and independent but sometimes we go beyond limits. Much to say and more to learn, with the ending of this article, let us acknowledge and encourage those who are suffering, to lead a normal happy life, and those who are not, to learn from the mistake. For a better generation.
''if you donot abuse drugs donot begin
if you abuse drugs donot inject
if you inject,use sterile equipment and never share
donot mix drugs or alcohol with sex''
eat well, sleep well;
health is wealth.
have a wonderful days ahead.
