OUR JOURNALS -- OUR JOURNEYS

DRUGS


Hi!

My name is Diego Merlo and I think that taking drugs is very bad, but, do people know? Do my friends know? Do your friends know?

I don't think so. I say this because I can see a lot of people drink alcohol in excess and they don't know that alcohol is a drug.

At this moment, drugs are used to work, to play sports, to study, etc. But if you take drugs to study or work you don't know the consequences in the future. Teenagers start taking drugs because they think that they are like cigarettes, but drugs can kill you more quickly.

I definitely say: DON'T TAKE DRUGS. It's for your own health.

In theory, everyone could say NO TO DRUGS, but in practice we don't know who really takes drugs. What's more, may be some of our friends, brothers or sisters take drugs and they may lie to us. But the most important thing is that we will have to be prepared to help them. Taking drugs can kill us, not only can it kill our brain or body, but it can also kill our family, friends or loving beings. If you see something strange in your group of friends you mustn't be like them. In other words, you must talk to them about drugs and consequences and help them.

My opinion about drugs is, like everybody says, NO TO DRUGS. Why? Because drugs destroy the lives of the people that take them. For example if you take drugs, it'll make you lose a friendship or family. The best thing you can do to help people who take drugs is to give them advice and to talk about the consequences that drugs can lead to. Finally, drugs are not a game and, if you have to choose between drugs and a healthy life, you will select the most important thing, which is Life.
