Effect of the Drug Abuse on the Academic Performance of the Students/Adolescents the

distributed to 44 samples from Masterskill Global College, Ipoh, Malaysia as well as from outside adolescent from different colleges. After getting the answers of questionnaire, we did statistical analysis and found that the most obvious reasons includes for drug abuse are family problem, financial problem, community, lack of knowledge in drug’s effects and also found that these factors play a vital role on academic performance. We can conclude that if required action/education of the same would be taken/given on time the students may perform well academically without taking any drug.

temptations, learning to say "No" to drugs. Society should support these adolescents in preparing them for such situations. Friends, family, teachers and other members of the community should give support to adolescents so that they are emotionally and mentally ready to fight against drugs.
Godley mentions that, paying little heed to the idea of the connection between academic achievement and substance use, schools are a significant potential intercession condition for teenagers who are in danger for substance use problems [2].
Indeed, our own discoveries and those of Engberg and Morral recommend that pre-adult medication use is identified with decreases in continued commitment in scholarly interests, which infers that mediations laid out by Godley could improve school commitment and attendance [2]. Engberg and Morral's information are especially convincing, as they exhibit that lessening substance use through a treatment program builds school participation among overwhelming medication utilizing youths. Taken together, the consequences of both observational examinations recommend that diminishing medication use will deliver enhancements in scholarly results.
Consequences of the two examinations [3,4] underscore the significance of explaining the systems by which substance use impacts academic results. Research proposes two potential mechanisms. First, substance use itself may influence intellectual improvement which, further, decreases academic accomplishment and reduces academic progression. Late investigations have appeared overwhelming substance use can prompt issues with working memory and attention because of changes in adolescent brain activity [4]. These memory and attention issues may in turn, prompt abatements in academic performance and engagement in school, and ultimately results in high risk of school problems and dropouts. Moreover, these discoveries have been accounted for heavy drinking and drug-using adolescents (like the clinical example utilized by Engberg and Morral) [5], and it is indistinct whether such impacts would emerge at lower level of utilization.
In addition, the magnitude and in terms of whether they extend to perpetual quality of these impacts are hazy as far as whether they stretch out to impair academic functioning. For instance, studies [6,7] recommend that withdrawal is a significant indicator of the neurocognitive deficits related with adolescent drinking, however it isn't evident whether prolonged periods of restraint redresses these shortfalls or whether they are permanent.
Alternatively, it could be that drug and alcohol use during adolescence leads to association with antisocial peer groups, which in turn diminishes school engagement and increases other behavioral and social problems. Surely, as Godley and the present examinations support, substance use is related to many school-related outcomes that have a strong behavioral and social component. That is, results, such as, school grades; attendance, school completion and dropout are impacted not only by intellectual working, but also by inspiration, hierarchical aptitudes and social/ behavioral abilities. In other words, the impacts of substance use on academic outcomes may have motivational, social and behavioral components in addition to any consequences for perception and subjective advancement. Thus, negative academic outcomes may be due to both the direct effect of substance use on In this way, negative academic results might be because of both the immediate impact of substance use on cognitive skills as well as the constellation of motivational, social and behavioral risk factors associated with substance use in adolescence.

Effects of Alcohol Consumption on Academic Performance
There is little doubt that alcohol can have a negative effect on academic success. One national study indicates that college students with an "A" average consume an average of only 3.3 drinks per week, while "D" students consume an average of 9 drinks per week. Some Sobering Facts: Alcohol has been linked to 40% of incidents of lowered academic performance and 25% of college dropouts. The heaviest drinkers make the lowest grades. Increases in average number of drinks per week are related to decreased class attendance and getting behind on school work. Every country in the world, developed or developing, incurs substantial costs as a result of damages caused by substance abuse [8]. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion people, representing a third of the world population above the age of 15 years, use tobacco, principally in the form of the cigarettes. Of these smokers, 800 million, 700 million of them males, live in developing countries [9]. While smoking rates have been declining in the developed world, they have increased in the developing countries by as much as 50 percent, especially in Asia and in the Pacific region, over the last decade. Addiction to tobacco is therefore a major problem in the developing countries. According to the same report, tobacco causes four million deaths annually, not including prenatal morbidity and mortality. This figure is projected

to rise to 1.6 million by the year 2025, 70 percent of which will occur in the developing world if current trends continue [10].

Discussıon
The objective of this study was to explore the connotation between alcohol consumption on academic performance amongst college students. The study revealed that male students are more susceptible to drug abuse than their female counterpart. The findings are consistent with findings from other studies conducted in the New Zealand [11], Nigeria [12], United States [13], and Australia [14] where males have recounted consuming alcohol at lethal levels than females. The students mainly abused alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs because they are still in their influential stage and might easily fall victim to experimentations with drug. This study also implies that the high risk age group for substance use consists of majority of respondents within the adolescent period. The alcohol consumption is high in Muslim's. The study revealed that the main factors for a students use of alcohol is parental lifestyle, attachment, peer influence and commitment to conventional activities (for example reading books, sports and religious activities) [15]. It was found that the main reasons adolescents use drugs were personal factors, family environment, and social environment [1]. Students use drugs mostly once a week; to feel good, to keep awake, and some to sleep [16]. The foremost reasons why students started abusing substances were mainly to supposedly 'enhance' their academic performances and some students combined prescription stimulants with alcohol for recreational purposes [17].

Conclusion
This paper has presented a remarkable relationship between the alcohol consumption and emotional wellness with academic performance. The outcomes from this study are much comparable with other studies which demonstrate that students with moderate/ high psychological distress were not being able to complete their assignments and are more likely faces academic problems. It
