In my previous article I wrote about the dangerous leaf called Chat; at least you have got some information about the leaf and in this article I am writing you few things about the bad side and consequences resulted from the leaf with respect to reproductive health of young people.
As I have tried to mention few points on the previous article Chat contains a substance that stimulates and encourages some one to practice and exercise things in different ways. It forces young people to do things with out considering the consequences. Because of unemployment in the country a large number of Young people are addicted to this leaf and spending more time sitting by chewing it. It also makes them to see every thing either simple or difficult depends on the nature of the person. It also initiate them to make the impossible possible or the possible impossible because their brains don’t properly functioning like a normal person who doesn’t take Chat.
Right after taking chat to get relief from the substance these young people are become strained and forced to go to Bars and Clubs to drink much alcohols. The substance in the chat highly reduces the food appetite but it enhances the interest to drink more alcohol. Because of the nature of the leaf many people are forced to drink a lot while others are not interested to drink any alcohol. It has different effect on different people but it is common for the majority to take much alcohol.
It is all clear that drinking much alcohol will force them to make unsafe sex with their female and male counterparts and this enhance the transmission of HIV AIDS and unwanted pregnancy. This highly affects the life of young people and forced them to lead awful life suffering from the problem that they encountered because of taking chat. They became child mother and HIV positive and their life become miserable and difficult.
Once you are addicted to theleaf you should take it in a daily bases; to take chat it requires a lot of money because the price for the lowest quality of chat almost 2 USD which is the most expensive price to pay for an individual living in the country like Ethiopia where people are living below one dollar per day. This situation forced young boys and girls to commit crime or involved in illegal activities to get the money for daily consumption of Chat.
Here in our country chat makes many young people unproductive and desperate in their life. A large number of young women and men from secondary schools are addicted to this leaf and spending their valuable time in these chat houses which are found adjacent to the schools. In order to cover the costs these young girls are enforced to make sex with their elders like sugar daddies and because of these they are easily exposed to HIV AIDS and unwanted pregnancy that would be considered as the major reproductive health problem that currently prevails in the country.
To reduce the dangerous effect of the leaf some organizations are exerting their utmost effort to create awareness among young people. The work should not be left only for some people or organizations that are actively functioning in this area but it is a work that has to be accomplished by all the people. Unless the concerned bodies working in collaboration with the general public it is difficult to reduce the number of young people that are widely consume chat.
