Conclusion and Recommendation


Based on the above findings, the researcher conclude that most of the Millennial
nowadays have many reasons behind their addiction just like want to forget their problems, they
want to be happy, they love to do what their friends are doing and some other reasons.
The researcher also concluded that aside from reason they have also causes of drug
addiction, some millennial enters to drugs because of their curiosity, influence by fiends/peers,
family problem, and some are financial problems that lead them to enter in drug addiction.
To the individual, the researcher wants to recommend that in every situation or in every
place the person should treat people equally. That can even though some people enters in drug
addiction we don’t have the right to judge or discriminate them because they have some
reasons and causes behind their drug addiction.
Discriminating people without lack of basis or evidence can destroys an individual life;
avoid jumping into conclusion or generalizing the people why they enter the drug addiction.
