Hi!! My name is Ashleigh DeBord. I am in the sixth grade. I am
eleven years old. This is my Journal for the week!!!!:
I have learned a lot about certain drugs and why some are good and some are bad. Drugs are any substance other than food that effects the way your mind and body works. Some are good like medicine. It is a very good drug unless you take an overdosage of it. Medicine drugs help your body feel and work a lot better when it is not working correctly. The Bad drugs are things like: Alcohol, Nicotine, Smoking, Inhalant, Heroine, Cocaine, and Marijuana. They can kill you. For example : If you are passing around a shot that has something bad in it you could get Aids from someone who used it. Inhalant is something that you sniff and it can cause damage to your nose.
We learned all these things from a class that we call DARE. It means Drug
Abuse Resistance Education. Our teacher was Officer Campbell. (Officer
Campbell is a woman) Do any of you have DARE out there ? Or anything like
Dare ? This is very bad in the USA. This causes a lot of violence. This
is what I think of drugs. Bye Bye for now.
PS - Write Back
Sincerely,
Ashleigh DeBord
I think people should say no to drugs because its wrong. It messes
up your brain and gives you scary affects. Besides it shouldn't even exist
in this world because people die and get in trouble for it. Some people
take drugs that give their body scars or makes it hard for them breathe.
I think people should say no to drugs because they need to think
about their future and they also need to think about the consequences they
are about to face. Just think about it, would you want your child to do
drugs? No that's why some people don't do drugs. But the only drugs I'll
ever take is medicine to help me feel better.

People should say no to drugs because it might ruin their liver or heart or you
might as well overdose. When people do drugs they do stupid thing like suicide
and when one gets mad at the other person they start to argue or get in a fight.

People should say no to drugs because it makes your lungs black and it'll ruin your brain cells, also then you'll get dumber each time you take drugs. Also, because if you take it a lot you will have a short life.
And you'd be better at doing work without taking drugs, also drugs can mess up
your life because if you do use drugs you'll get addicted to it and you'll start
doing it more.
Alric Smith, 6th Grade
Kayenta Middle School
Drugs can give a lot of problems and when you sniff the drug they can go to
the head and the toes in less than five seconds. You think that
drugs can make you cool but think again. Drugs just make you
retarded and make you lose your job if you have one. Drugs can
give you cancer and make your lungs black. Drugs can also
make your heart stop and you could die from doing that. Drugs
can also make you go crazy and can also make you kill
somebody our maby yourself.
Alex Black, 6th Grade
Kayenta Middle School
People should say no to drugs because it can ruin a lot of your body parts. You can't learn if all your brain cell are all fried up can't do its job any more. Drugs can ruin your family's life and yours too. If do drugs when your driving you can have an accident and kill someone, and spend alot of time in prison.
If you deal drugs people will kill you and maybe your whole
family too. You never know. Drugs can do anything to you and your family.
Don't let drugs boss you around. SO DON'T DO DRUGS!
Shannon Holiday, 6th Grade
Kayenta Middle School
People should say "NO" to drugs because they could ruin your life. If you do drugs who knows what will happen. You could be fine one minute and when you take drugs you could get really sick or even die. Also if you do drugs you are not only hurting yourself but you could also cause other people to get sick and they could even die. Another reason you shouldn't do drugs is that it can cause bad damage to your body. If you take drugs you will probably ruin your life because if you try drugs once you usually get addicted. I will never do drugs because I want to lead a healthy normal life.
Well there it is. Drugs are really bad for you. A lot of
people do drugs. I wish there were more ways to get the
message across to people that drugs are really bad for you.
Well, I have to go. I have to get back to class.

Dear Kids,
Hi!! My name is Stephanie Palmer. I am writing about the recent
journal topic, which I found out was "Say No To Drugs." We had a class in
our school for the sixth graders which was called D.A.R.E. It means Drug
Abuse Resistance Education. The D.A.R.E. officer said that if you say it
backwards, that is what it means. We are learning (Education) to resist (Resistance) the abuse (Abuse) of drugs
(Drug). We learned different ways to say "no" to drugs. And we also learned some of
the different kinds of drugs. Marijuana, pot, tobacco, and alchol are all different
examples of drugs. Smoking is also very bad for you.
Ways that I can say no is to just walk away. If any of my friends
try to offer me drugs, I won't take them. We learned always tell an
adult whenever someone offers me drugs.

Dear Kids,
Hello. My name is Caitlin Rimkis. I am writing about drugs. Since the
begging of this school year, I have learned a lot about drugs. My
D.A.R.E. officer taught me so much. I think that D.A.R.E. should be a
required class for kids from the age of 9 to the age 13. It is a great
class that teaches kids all about drugs. How your life is without them
and with them. How they can hurt you and how some people think that they
help them. D.A.R.E. teaches you ways to say no and how to avoid people
offering you them. Smoking is something that is very popular with the
teens. I just don't see what is supposed to be so cool about them. So,
I don't know about anyone else, but I will never do drugs.

Hi,
I am going to write about all BAD things abput drugs. I hope that any
of you guys out there that have tried drugs are definately off of them
now. They are bad for you health, mind, and your family. If you think
drugs are cool, they are not. They are bad. The're some good drugs, like
the drugs doctors perscribe to you when you are sick. Drugs(most of the
time) kill and take no prisoners. Well, this is my Journal on Drugs.
