The main idea behind little miss high schools is to call upon all teens to avoid drugs if they want a bright future.
In her message when she met her fellow students recently at Elite school along Entebe road, the students leader , Amber Grace Birungi who is the tittle holder of Miss high schools 2024 called on students and the youth in general to discard drugs.
Birungi who is a student at Elite High school also urged parents to spare time and ensure their children are safe.
” The danger of drugs can be a danger to our nation. Drugs are sometimes started in school bad groupings and I urge our parents to spare time and talk to us their children. Bridging the gap between the parent and the child can make a difference” said Birungi.
She was recently speaking to her fellow students in the wake of rampant drug abuse among Ugandan youth .
This comes at a time when many youth are losing life after living recklessly and it’s alleged that it’s because of drugs.
Just last week a young university girl died in a city bar at Kololo and it’s suspected she was high on drugs.
However Birungi advised fellow students and youth to live positively and a respectable life style if they want to succeed in academics and life.
She thanked parents, hers inclusive and teachers who make it a point to well advise their children on morals along side academics.
