No To Drugs For A Better Life


A drug is any chemical you take that affects the way your body works. Doctors call a drug addictive if it makes you dependent on the drug. Unpleasant withdrawal symptoms appear unless you take the drug. Addictive drugs also make you crave them - you have an overwhelming urge to continue taking the drug, even after withdrawal symptoms have disappeared. Addictive drugs make you depend on them.  The number of people that are using drugs is on the rise.  A large number of these people are teens.  Teens are the largest users of drugs in Canada.  Many people feels that teen use drugs because they feel it is the cool thing to do, but in truth not all teens just want to look cool.  Teens turn to drugs for many different reasons. One is they want to escape in the reality. Some teens are full of problems and depressions. Drugs can relieve teens stress. Another reason teens use drugs is to fit in and be like their peers. To some teens, using drugs is a way to be liked or accepted by other people.  If a teen does not have a lot of friends and a group of people ask the teen to go smoke-up with them, the teen will most likely agree to go.  Also teens that do not use drugs may be bullied or made fun of because of what they chose not to do.  This may cause teens to start using drugs just so they stop being harassed by their peers.

Drugs are not the solution to every individual’s problems. Well it's wild because youth are getting drawled in easy with this drug trend. For some as soon as you try it, you are hooked and for others there is no interest but we would have work together as a society and encourage those who do drugs that drugs are NOT good. Don't be scared let them know or you can lose a friend. Drugs can’t let you have a good life. Drugs will never make your life in success. Drugs don’t give a good life in you. Don’t waste your life in drugs. Better stop before it’s too late. Many opportunities are coming to every individual. Do you want to waste it in your young age?
