[QUOTE="b0ssY, post: 7210, member: 3356"] Thanks guys for the wonderful replies! I have learnt alot from them. It's true that imposing fines on teens who abuse drugs is reasonable as it serve as a warning to them. However, I still oppose to the idea of fine. As what I say, fines will increase the financial burden, and as what ant'smom had said from real experience, imposing fine results in the person having to earn only 300 a month? Doesn't that will make the person feeling even more depressed because he/she has to pay such big amount of fines, and had to live on such low income. Teens should live a carefree and happy life, not a life trapped under the law of fines. [ QUOTE ] I believe an addict should face very serious consequences for their bad choices. But in my opinion making them pay money to a court system that isn't working any way is very counter productive. Making them pay for services to try to get well would make more since to me. Their are other punishments that can be imposed on an addict besides fines. But like I said this is just my opinion. Peace Lea [/ QUOTE ] I totally agree with what you said envis. If fine is really necessary, I would, too, rather it is used for paying to community services that serve to help the drug addicts turn over a new leaf. Thia is a much preferable approach and will show our sincere offer in helping them change. Rather than imposing fines just to serve as punishment, we should transform this so called punishment as care and concern for them instead. [/QUOTE]
