Research paper Hello,

Well, that is a great quiestion about how the cocaine business has affected children here.
Well, in areas where the coca leaves are harvested, for example, Northern Antioquia, children drop out of school at around age 14, 15. They go to work collecting the leaves and make more money in one week than their fathers ever could working at an honest job. So, on weekends these young people party hard. Prostitution amoung young girls is very high. But it is not prostituion as you may think - standing at corners and waving cars down. These girls and boys go to bars and pick up people, like we do in the states, but they are looking for one night stands and expect to be paid very hansomely. Cars, motobikes, jewlery. THey do not see anything wrong with this. Their moral value system has been distorted. Also, since there is so much money in small towns in these areas, people charge too much for serivces like house cleaning, laundry, cooking comapred to what they charge in big cities like Bogotà. They do not have good work ethics and are lazy. This is a new generation that is being created by the coke industry. Not many people talk about this because they do not know what is going on.
ALso, the coke leaves crop ruins the land and causes deforestation. There is a great articlein National Geographics - July.
Good luck,
Cristina
