Much attention was paid to the pupils of Jamhuri Primary school which is situated in the middle of the slum estates. The researcher applied questionnaire method to collect data which worked relatively well considering the response of the respondents. The study applied with qualitative and quantitative method of data collection where different tables were used.

And this was due to the following; motivation, poverty, pupils own perception, negative way of socialization and deeply rooted peer influence. Meaning no proper direction. The study revealed that boy pupils are the worst affected. They go as far as working in farms I farm laborers or going stealing so as to meet the demand that drugs have imposed in them.
