My passion for writing was born from a tender age when I was in primary school. During those formative years I preferred plays, drama, poetry and pros. I used to write short plays which were acted on both in school and church. It was during high school and college years that my writing went a notch higher whereby I produced many literary works both for in-house local media publications. I developed passion for youth when I became a church youth leader, peer educator and counselor. I was also a school librarian for two and half years, an experience that propelled me to have an interest in young people.
I am a graduate of information studies I have training in leadership, research, peer education and counseling. I have worked as youth leader, peer counselor, researcher, and a medical librarian among others. Working in these areas has given me an impetus to develop a guide on teen drug and substance abuse. I hope this guide will go along way in helping our young people get off this deadly behavior and practice with a potential to destroy productive generations and the world at large. This book is for everyone who cares enough for our young people and the society.

I wrote this book after many years in leadership. I all those years I learnt to spend time with God in prayer and saw great achievements realized. I trust that all those that will come across this piece of write-up will also experience many achievements, because they will learn how to pray.
Teenage drug and substance abuse help guide is a timely book which would be useful to all community members. Drug and substance abuse is a great destroyer of many lives especially the youth. All would agree that we need a drug and substance abuse-free world fit for human habitation.This guide will be of help to people of ages and professions across the board to curb this life threatening vice.
