Drugs, Teens, And Recovery is an article about young teenagers that are either addicted to drugs or do drugs and get interviewed. Many teens quote that they know that they will never be free from the urge to use. It has become a habit to most of these teens.
Everyday teens use drugs, not a days goes by that the number of drugs being use doesnt increase.
This book helps me realizes that the use of drugs isnt a good thing. It causes many dangerous accidents. People die from using to much. Others that sit back and watch all the simtums that happend while on drugs usually shouldnt happend. Its a bad community for any age of teens and even adults. I think teens shouldnt even have a way to get a hold of drugs doing to the cause of what they might do. It also has to do with how their parents raise them an how they are when their teen is useing any kind of drug or achol. Teens think its all fun and games when they go out to parties, drinking and driving. Its often that the parents of teens let them take cars out to parties knowing they will be drinking and driving. Alot of teens arent aware of what may happend, they arent fully grown to know their consequences. People die in car accidents because of drunk teens. It isnt a joke. I lost a very close friend due to a teen drunk driving. This book really intertain me and made me realize to make wise choices. In reality now, alot of teens are using drugs or acohol. Its kind of scarey knowing drunks and drugies arent in their right mind anything can happend when in use. Im glad i read this book it made me realize alot more then i already do. Made me think maybe i should convince my own friends that use drugs that it isnt any good from them or the people around them.
