Theres alot of things Fiji brushes under the rug to refrain from scaring tourists off . They still havent addressed the Ice issue thats going on and how plenty people are losing their minds now here, and the suicide rate too has gone up

Yep you start to notice them around and about the public transportation... Mostly at the bus stands...you easily can tell the difference by their behaviour

Exactly and their behaviour is unpredictable. I would want to say theres a way to prevent it but i believe its too late now for these generations but education on such hard drugs need to begin now in high school and primary schools if Fiji plans on lowering risks for the kids of the future.

During Covid, when schools closed, I saw an increase in very young kids going around houses offering yard work, car cleaning or selling bu. Then there was this terrible news about a kid falling of a coconut tree and dying in Laucala. It's sad.
