Default Drugs Killed?!?

just want to catch some attention... reason being for me to post on this forum....im doing a project and the topic is on effect of drug on youth ..



basically i could say that im surrounded by drug users in my community...

some of the "people" said that drugs are for the weekend to ease down the hectic lifestyle.

but from what i see it brings more to the dissadvantage side of life than the advantages side.




please give a comment it helps me alot.... shake hahx

Default Maybe and maybe not

I've read some news and stories on drug addicts.What i've known is that they will suffer long-term affect before death.This includes getting HIV/AIDS,brain damage,rotten teeth and suffer from mental disorder.

Any disagreements,will apologise as this is my opinion on facts that i have read before.

I suppose it's okay if you kids think the way you do. Maybe if an entire generation is so mis-informed then they will be scared enough to not use anything. But remember that you can not take any pain meds for surgeries or severe illnesses. You will just have to suffer. You won't be able to use medications for anxiety disorders or depression ... you will just have to suffer. You will have to decline help for any illnesses that require drugs to make you better and just suffer. Of course you won't have brain damage, rotten teeth, Aids, be skinny or the other things you mentioned that are common to all addicts. LOL

If you want specific answers then you have to ask specific questions. You can't categorize everyone or every condition in the same manner. You won't get any help here asking questions like you are asking. If you want to come on an adult forum and expect helpful answers then you have to ask questions in an adult manner not making it so obvious that you are just little children.

you want to know why? well for me...:

1. Can't sleep anyway, so I might as well be functional (Adderall, not my scrip, caffeine before I quit)
2. Self medicating for dysthymia, chronic mild depression (Vicodin, Adderall, Alcohol, caffeine before I quit)
3. Self medicating for OCD (Valium when I can get it, Vicodin, Adderall, Alcohol)
4. Personal experience to back up researched expertise (too many drugs to count, most only once or twice)
5. Getting my homework done (Adderall, caffeine)
6. I'm an addict, that's what addicts do, we take drugs (Adderall, Vicodin, caffeine before I quit, alcohol when I was younger)
