  Recently many celebrities have been arrested in charge of drug abuse including philopon, marijuana and ecstacy. Law enforcement are planning to investigate more than 10 celebrities suspected of this crime and it will have a bad influence teenagers who admires them the most.
Drug abuse is not just limited to specific celebrities, it is becoming a critical social issue. Young college students and office workers obtain drugs easily in rave parties. As some teenagers and housewives take drugs such as ecstacy in name of medicine to reduce weight and stay alert. The solution of this problem is needed to be furnished quickly.
Because celebrities are not only spot-lighted as public person but also a role model for teenagers. Society is concerned about teenagers' imitated crime. Since entertainers on TV influence teenagers on stylish fashion, perfect appearance and so forth, not even young people but older people pay attention to every single thing that they do. Therefore this dope scandal created a monstrous side effect that may stimulate their desire of imitation. In this vein, celebrities drug abuse can effect teenagers more than ever.
Celebrities must take this incident as a profound lesson. They ought to watch what they do and realize who they are, because making millions and billions of money means that they should be responsible for their behavior. We cannot become a society of drug addicts in any circumstances. Celebrities' drug scandal should be taken as a good opportunity for us to remedy the drug abuse. It's time for government to declare war against drug and we should give our full support to the them.
