Drugs Real Life

I know a lot about drugs in society today, and we are surrounded by people who take drugs. I am surrounded by them in everyday life.

Some of my friends at school think they’re big, hard and untouchable, they smoke weed, sniff glue, smoke and inhale other substances. We try to stop and tell them that it’s not right and that there are serious consequences.  They think they have no one to talk to but in reality they have close friends, family and even professionals.

The side effects of taking drugs are:

·         Blackouts

·         Stunting your growth

·         Hazards to your health

·         Addictive behaviour

·         Loss of self control.

This could lead to violence, underage sex and they are less likely to survive. So young people should think about what they are doing and make the right decisions.
