what does "DEAD" stand for ? for me, it stands for

Drugs End All Dreams

Your dream, our dream, teenager's dream.

Indonesia stands out with drugs strict regulations. What will happen if one day, Drugs are not restricted and freely consumed in Indonesia and easily got by teenagers ? In this essay i will discuss about how serious the government handle this drug abuse for teenagers' cases.

Drug is a substance that is sometimes used for medicine and also used to change a person's mental or physical state. There are over 7 drug categories :

1. Depresants 2. Stimulants 3. Hallucinogens 4. Anesthetic 5. Analgenics 6. Inhalants 7. Cannabis

Some of the earliest evidence of Cannabis use dates back to around 8000 BCE, making it the oldest drug ever discovered. Like the other drugs on this list, Cannabis was initially used for medicinal purposes, such as an anesthetic during surgery.

The number of teenagers perpetrators of drug abuse increase every year. Indonesia is not serious about dealing with drugs yet.. According to the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), as many as 2.2 million teenagers in 13 provinces in Indonesia are perpetrators of drug abuse and this figure continues to increase every year. and The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) stated that 82.4% of children were users, 47.1% were dealers, and 31.4% were couriers.

Drugs are illegal in Indonesia, but they're easily accessible. Indonesia is a place for transit in drug trafficking and as a marketing place, even as a place of production.

In fact, the consumers of drugs don't come from the rich family only. But it can easily gotten by teenagers through the social media platform. As we know, teenagers are the most active social media users in every platform. Don't you think it can be our serious concern ?

Some children are the victims of parental drug abuse. Studies show that 1 of 5 children grow up with parents who abuse drugs or alcohol. If a parent is struggling with addiction or a substance abuse problem, it will affect child's development. This is very serious especially for a single-parent households where children have no one else to turn to. Children who live with parents who are drug addicts can also become so addicted to drugs also are more vulnerable to sexual harassment, violence against children, experience emotional disorders.

In the end, Governments should take a serious concern to this issue for the future Golden Generation we dream of.

That's why i can say that The government hasn't handled this drug abuse for teenagers' cases very seriously.

I hope there's a way for the government take to take this issue seriously.

"Quantum Theory : Complicated, Mysterious, and Debatable"

 "How do everything we call 'real' Made of something that cannot be exist" ~Niels Bohr. So imagine If you are basically "not exist" Then you're no difference than a ghost. In this Essay, I'll write about the Theory why we and all the creatures exist and the basic yet most complicated fundamental of every existing things including us yet terrifyingly haven't been solved yet. In other words "Quantum Theory is very complicated, mysterious, and debatable".

Quantum is basically a microscopic world class that was the fundamental of the

universe, first born because of the confusing "Ultraviolet cathosphere" problem and making many scientists question particles and The universe itself.

Quantum Comes from the word "Quanta" by Max Planck while trying to solve ultraviolet cathosphere. The popularity has been risen because of It's complexity yet was the fundamental of the universe. So scientists around the world make a giant and famous conference named the solvay conference 2, But they basically haven't completely solved it yet, They also did an experiment know as the famous "Double-split experiment" which also lead into the "Schrodinger's cat" paradox. Much like captain America : Civil war, the argument split them onto 2 sides. And these are the reason why it's still debatable and will always be.

Atoms behave like waves or particles ? It's been a questions for years. In 1801, Thomas Young who's on a disagreement with Max Planck and Albert Einstein for arguing in what atom is. Max Planck manage to solve the ultraviolet cathosphere in return needed to see atoms differently. Instead of seeing atoms as wave, he needed to see it as a particle, So Thomas did the experiment and after a few times, it ended up being confusing and

The world actually doesn't really exist. Atoms are 99,999 % empty. Chemist John Dalton proposed the theory that all matter and objects are made up of particles called atoms, and this is still accepted by the scientific community, almost two centuries later. Each of these atoms is each made up of an incredibly small nucleus and even smaller electrons, which move around at quite a distance from the centre. That's the reason in the movie ant-man, pym particle will makes people small by reducing the distance between atoms.

Humans brain might not really comprehend the quantum knowledge. Some says that quantum is outside this dimension, some says only the god knows and comprehend quantum knowledges, some says our brain isn't ready, and some says in the future, it will be common knowledge and we can control it, Nonetheless... the point is until know and for now, we still can't comprehend or know quantum that well

So, in conclusion, That's why i can say that "Quantum Theory is very complicated, mysterious, and debatable". I hope my essay could help you understand and be more interested on quantum and science.

Even if scientists haven't solve this problem since years ago, what's stopping us for for being one of them ? Never gave up on your dream no matter what it is. Don't listen those who just want to see you fall, you control yourself. YOU decided to stop and start !

ACADEMIC BOREDOM : THE IMPACTS FOR STUDENTS VS THE CHALLENGE FOR TEACHERS

 How can the teachers expect the students to perform well while the students have less motivation in learning ?is it a teacher's job to make the subjects be more entertaining ? Today, i will talk about Why students easily get bored in class and have less motivation to accomplish the academic tasks.

Academic boredom is boredom experienced by students in schools and while they complete academic tasks (Acee et al., 2010). It can be a feeling that can be ignored in educational settings. Because academic boredom is an invisible and 'silent' emotion compared to a more pronounced emotional state such as anger. A student with boredom may not behave in a way that disturbs other classmates and teachers, but the long-term negative effects of academic boredom should not be ignored. As a student who experience this, for me there will be some reasons that cause this boredom.

Teachers failed to provide the connection and the relevance of the school work to the students life. Most students may struggle to connect classroom material to their lives and goals. That's what I also feel. There' are teachers who just give works without telling what the purpose is or why we have to learn about it. Some of them just explain the theories in too much details and push us to do the same like they did. Students then feel that the subject matter is irrelevant and often questioning why should they do it.

Teachers need more varied teaching methods. Traditional lectures and memorization can lead to a sense of indifference and disinterest. Teachers should be creative in providing teaching methods that can be adjusted based on the subject we learnt. Don't be so repetitive. Please elaborate it with games, technology, experimental, or group learning.

Teachers often give the students unrealistic expectations and pressures. The pressure to excel in some subjects can be overwhelming. Students are fear to failed. They worry every time. And Teachers make students more pressured by giving additional works to do at home such as homework and tests in short periods. I have 3-5 subjects to learn in a day. Imagine if all the teachers assigned us a work at home and should be done in short periods. Why do teachers like to let the students continue learning at home ? We as students spend most of our time in the school for 6-8 hours and we still have to continue learning at home because the teachers give us lost of works to do.

In the end, Academic Boredom is really serious since it can bring the long-term negative effects if it is always be ignored by teachers. That's why i can say that These can be some of many reasons Why students easily get bored in class and have less motivation to accomplish the academic tasks.

I hope all the teachers put this problem as a concern too. and I hope they also prioritize the students mental and emotional well-being, too. I believe, there are some of good teachers who really care about this too, Well done teachers, I thank you so much. Personally, As Merdeka Curriculum is also one of the good tools in terms to create a golden generations in the future, so teachers should adapt with their style of teaching to make students feel like learning is so much fun to do.

ROMANCE NOVEL : TEENAGERS AND THEIR FANTASY

 Have you ever seen your friend, a teenager, suddenly smile, chuckle, giggle, or day dreaming along the way with a romance novel on her hand ? Maybe she or he's hallucinating. and maybe your friend is me ! In this essay, I will write about why teenagers are emotionally addicted to romance novel.

Romance novel, it's a type of genre fiction novel wich it's primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people. Every year, over a billion dollars are spent on these books about love and relationships, And in Fact, Romance Novels Are a Huge Business, a Billion-Dollar Industry. Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, a novel by Samuel Richardson, is the first romance novel in the world and they were successfully launched the novel in 1740. It was about the love between a female maid and her land-owning master.

Teens are unstable, they want love and attention, to feel accepted. As teenager develops into a young adult and heads towards independence, they are still likely to seek out positive attention from all people. Most of us want to be loved and accepted for who we are. As they mature, teenagers are finding out who they are and where they fit in to the world. It can be a time full of feelings of insecurity. They tend to seek validation from others and reassurance that what they are doing and the choices they are making, are OK to feel accepted.

Teenagers relate with the characters and feel comforted. Katrina Fong, PhD, a researcher of social and personality psychology said that Reading romantic novels might help make people feel more connected to other people. She also explained that Reading stories and connecting to the characters can help meet someone's personal psychological needs. So it might what teenagers feel when they read the romance novel. Make sense, right ?! It's possible that connecting to fictional characters especially if characters feel like real people to readers.They can easily empathize with the characters and feel how the story can relate to them.

Romance Novel give readers high expectations for pleasure. We knew that we were guaranteed a happy ending to the story because that’s the very definition of a romance book. You get the shy woman, the career-driven woman, the single mom, the party girl. It doesn’t matter. They all get their happily ever after whatever that may look like for them.

So, in conclusion, I clearly understand that Teenagers are emotionally addicted to romance novel.

I recommend you to read Dear Nathan as your first romance novel. Once you read it, you will feel so realized that we have to take the positive side when we have a relationship afterwards. I personally think that there's nothing wrong about teenagers reading Romance Novel. For me, reading romance novel makes me learn about my own true feeling, my relations with my family and friends, and especially with the guy that i admire. I also how i should appreciate myself and help me appreciate those qualities in the men I know. I also hope that school libraries provide more romance novel on their shelves.

The Military Coups : Cases and Impacts to Countries

 Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, do you know about these countries ? These are the countries which got ruined by a military coup. The countries whose people dream of peace but end up in living in fear every single day. In this essay i will write about how dangerous the military coups can be if they have a full control to rule a country.

Military coups or A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/; French for 'stroke of state'), or simply a coup, is an illegal and overt attempt by a military organization or other government elites to unseat an cease leadership by force. and Most of this happened in unstable countries.

The first military coup happened in the Kingdom of Israel. It was way back at 876 BC its when Zimri a military general killed, King Elah and became king but later on did suicide on the fear of being overtaken by his own commander Omri.

and until now, Millitary coups do exist and cause lots of chaos. Its still happening there in Krygyztan in May 2023 when police detained some people that were starting a coup and led to chaos in some public places.

Military Coups create a new dictatorship, violence and injustice. Some coups said that they are here to bring good for the country, In Fact, Most of the African Countries were attempted by military coups and they had an endless conflicts.

in another Country, Burma as we known as Myanmar. Since the military’s coup on February 1, 2021, the political, economic, and humanitarian crisis in Burma has only grown more dire, with reports indicating nearly 3,000 killed, nearly 17,000 detained, and more than 1.5 million people are displaced.

Military coups leads to a great depression and economy degradation. Military coups and their movement can lead the unsustainable and unconducive in politic and government. Many people is living in fear for their own safety and a lack of jobs and income. Public lost their trust. Consumers have rushed to withdraw deposits in banks. that can lead to crisis. Based on my research, Sudan the country that has had the highest number of coups in Africa, its economy has never been stable and the country has continued to suffer a crisis.

Too many people lose their lives in war, especially the young Africans. Too many young Africans lose their lives by embarking on a dangerous journey to Europe in an effort to escape the constraints they face at home. In recent years, tens of thousands of young Africans have left the shores of Senegal and other West African countries in small boats headed for Spain's Canary Islands. Most have spent a week or more at sea, and unknown numbers have died in the attempt.

Overall, I think Military coups bring more negative impacts and led the country in unstable condition.

That's why i can say The Military coups is potentially dangerous if they have a full control to rule a country

I hope, we as Indonesian can be grateful to be led by the the presidential system under Pancasila values where all the constitution and democracy are transparent and all Indonesian can help the government by sharing our opinions and free to contribute for the better of this country. And also, I hope We'll never ever experience this kind of system that is experienced by millions of people in Africa so we can only pray to God that our country is not going to face a military coup.
