The topic that I decided to write about is drug and alcohol control. We have been trying to get if off the streets so that people can live in a safe envirnment, so people won't die from these addictions. But that has been the case for so long. People have died because of overdosing or have been drinking too much alcahol. This topic leads into so many other, like drunk driving or drug addiction.
What I have found out about drugs from reading a couple of articles is that people with no lives and who have nothing to live for aren't the only ones who are using drugs and dying from it. There are so many KIDS and teenagers who are getting pulled into the world of drugs. Some people have died from this because they used drugs too much.
I read in an article about how a teenager from New Jersey died from using drugs and drinking too much alcahol. This person had everything to live for, he played on his high school football team and had great grades. But still he decided to use drugs and risk his life. He was a perfectly fine kid but he still ended up another victim to drugs.
I think that the reason so many kids use drugs is because there pressured into it. They think that if they don't try it then their friends will look at them differently or start to make fun of them. Also they think that maybe one little puff or sniff won't do anything. They think whats the harm in trying it. The fact is though one little puff or sniff is all it takes to get addicted to it and soon you won't be able to stop.
