Abstract

Droge so danes globalen problem. Zaradi vse večje razširjenosti drog je ta posledično precej razširjena tudi med mladostniki. Droge so danes lahko dostopne, ponudba in raznolikost drog sta veliki, mladi pa vse bol posegajo po njih. Ugotavljali smo, da je uporaba drog zaradi svojih učinkov na telo povezana z zmožnostjo učenja, posledično tudi z učnim uspehom. Prav tako avtorji navajajo, da so odvisni od drog pogosto marginalizirani in stigmatizirani. V magistrskem delu nas je zanimala povezava med uporabo drog med srednješolsko mladino v Sloveniji in njihovo marginalizacijo. Raziskovali smo socialno izključenost uporabnikov drog in njihov učni uspeh v času šolanja. Pozornost smo namenili tudi preventivi, ker menimo, da je le-ta v šolah zelo pomembna. V raziskavi smo uporabili intervjuje (bivših) uporabnikov drog, intervjuje s svetovalnimi delavci slovenskih srednjih šol in intervju s svetovalko društva ArsVitae za pomoč uporabnikom drog. Ugotovitve in teoretične predpostavke pričajo, da se večina mladostnikov z drogo prvič sreča v času šolanja, med vrstniki. Prav tako ugotavljamo pomembnost vrstnikov v času odraščanja, sploh kar se tiče uporabe drog, vrstnikov kot preventivni dejavnik uporabe drog ne zaznavamo. Prav tako ugotavljamo, da je zelo pomembno, katero vrsto drog uporablja posameznik, v kakšni količini in kako pogosto. Vse to vpliva na socialno izključenost in učno uspešnost. Lahko posplošimo, da po večini imajo uporabniki drog slabši učni uspeh, marginalizacije pa v srednjih šolah zaenkrat ne zaznavajo, saj je mladostnikom uporabo drog lahko prikriti, primeri težkih odvisnikov, kjer so težave dobro vidne, pa so redki. Šola kot izobraževalna inštitucija lahko s svojim preventivnim delovanjem pomembno vpliva na uporabo drog med mladostniki. Prav tako je šola prostor, kjer mladostniki preživijo večino svojega časa, oblikujejo se vrstniške skupine, v katerih nemalokrat prihaja tako do stika z drogami, kakor tudi do marginalizacije. Šola lahko s svojimi preventivnimi programi in delovanjem na področju socialne izključenosti pripomore k večji ozaveščenosti uporabe drog med mladostniki in prav tako glede stigme in marginalizacije na področju drog.

Secondary title:	The role of the school in the social exclusion of drug users
Secondary abstract:	Drugs are a global problem today. Due to the increasing prevalence of drugs, they are consequently quite common among adolescents. Drugs are easily accessible today, the supply and variety of drugs is extensive, and young people are increasingly resorting to drugs. We have found that drug use, due to its effects on the body, is closely associated with the learning ability, and consequently, with school results. The authors also state that drug addicts are often marginalized and stigmatized. The master's thesis focuses on the connection between the drug use among high school youth in Slovenia and their marginalization. We investigated the social exclusion of drug users and their school performance and examined preventative measures, since they are very important in schools. The survey used interviews of (former) drug users, interviews with counselors at Slovenian secondary schools and with the counselor of the ArsVitae Society, which helps drug users. Findings and theoretical assumptions testify that most adolescents encounter drugs for the first time during schooling, among peers. As we grow up, peer pressure becomes influential, and especially strong when it comes to drug use, however, peers unfortunately do not have a positive preventative influence regarding the drug use. We have also established that it is crucial what type of drug an individual uses, as well as in what quantities and how often. All this has an impact on social exclusion and learning performance. However, in general, for the most part, drug users have poorer educational achievements, while marginalization is not so evident in secondary schools, as adolescents usually manage to hide their drug addiction. Examples of severe addiction where problems would be clearly visible are rather rare. The school, as an educational institution, can have a significant impact on adolescent drug use through its preventative measures. The school is also a place where adolescents spend most of their time, forming peer groups, where they usually first come into contact with drugs as well as with marginalization. Through its prevention programs and activities in the field of social exclusion, the school can help raise awareness of drug abuse among adolescents, as well as about stigma and marginalization related to drug addicts.
