Euphoria has led to a rise in young people seeking help for addiction problems, according to the UK Addiction Treatment Group (UKAT).The HBO series wrapped up its second season last night (February 27), and throughout its run one of the main themes has been drug addiction, particularly shown through the perspective of Rue Bennett (Zendaya).According to UKAT’s head consultant, since the show was released there has been a small rise in young people seeking help for addiction.“What shows like Euphoria do is to raise the awareness of young people and children experiencing and in some cases, struggling with mature life situations like drug misuse,” Nuno Albuquerque told Metro.co.uk.“Thankfully there has been a very small rise in the number of young people getting in touch with our support services asking for help and guidance.”He added: “It’s naive of society to believe that our younger generation don’t use and abuse substances, or to think that we can always protect them. If shows like Euphoria manage to encourage even one young person to reach out and ask for help, then that’s wonderful.”Despite the increase, the US Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) previously criticised Euphoria‘s portrayal of teen drug use, claiming it chose to “misguidedly glorify and erroneously depict” such aspects.Zendaya subsequently defended the series, telling Entertainment Weekly: “Our show is in no way a moral tale to teach people how to live their life or what they should be doing.“If anything, the feeling behind Euphoria, or whatever we have always been trying to do with it, is to hopefully help people feel a little bit less alone in their experience and their pain.

Can the weirdness of 2020 please just stop already? Or at least chill for a sec? In a Twitter war that no one could have ever predicted, President Donald Trump‘s Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, 57, called out Guns N’ Roses lead singer Axl Rose, 58, for not doing enough for his country…then posted the flag of the African nation of Liberia instead of the U.S.’s stars and stripes to show that he was a bigger patriot. Needless to say, Mnuchin is getting roasted on Twitter.

Axl Rose is the most enigmatic of rock stars. The Guns N' Roses front man doesn’t release music nearly often enough, and he’s not prolific on social media.
