Though many students go to school with the intention of graduating, not all of them will achieve this goal. Some students will drop out due to distractions, financial difficulties, pregnancy, expulsion, or even death. It's important to be aware of the challenges that students face and to take steps to prevent these obstacles from derailing their education. Below are the following campus killers students should be aware of, and take caution towards.
1. Drug abuse: Drug abuse, also known as substance abuse, refers to the harmful and excessive use of drugs. Drug abuse is a serious problem on college campuses, and it has led to the deaths of many students. Students who abuse drugs often make poor decisions and engage in risky behavior, such as sexual activity or violence. They may also suffer from overdose or addiction. We strongly encourage all students to abstain from drug use in order to protect their health and safety.
2. Depression: Depression is a common issue for students, and it can be caused by a variety of factors such as financial difficulties, stress from schoolmates, and fear of failure. These issues can be exacerbated by unsupportive lecturers and school administrations. We urge all school staff to be mindful of the impact their actions and policies have on students' mental health. If you or someone you know is suffering from depression, it's important to get help. There are many resources available to provide support and treatment. With the right support, recovery from depression is possible.
3. Hunger: Some students tend to spend their money recklessly, whether it's on partying or showing off to their friends. When the money runs out, they often struggle to afford basic necessities like food, leading to hunger, which can eventually lead to physical health issues like ulcers. Asides students who lavishly spend their resources, we are also aware of those who may not be financially buoyant to cater for their basic needs, which sadly, may also lead to unwanted health challenges.
To combat this problem, we at All Campus Show encourage students to be financially responsible and to help their peers who may be struggling. We also encourage students who may be struggling financially to reach out to us. By working together, we can make sure that everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive on campus.
4 . Cultism: Another major issue on campus is cultism, which is often violent and dangerous. All Campus Show condemns cultism and other activities that may lead to violence or loss of life. We strongly encourage all students to avoid participating in cults and to stand up against violence in any form. Together, we can create a safe and peaceful campus community.
