Drugs...
These days, most teenagers learn about drugs from their friends who tell them how good consume pills and smoking some kind of heroin makes them feel good. But, the fact, the users don't tell about the bad effects from the chemicals they have consume to their body. Probably, some of the users don't know about the bad effects from consume drugs.When you buy some good in the street, make sure that you know how it was made and what substances those contained in that good. Nowadays, saying NO to drugs is the hardest thing you ever have to do.
Drugs become an easy escape from life troubles. Example, you can't concentrate in the exam because your girlfriend or boyfriend broke up with you, and you failed the exam, you will feel worse then before. Then you start trying to escape from your troubles by consume drugs. Remember, drugs can make people who consume it addicted for his/her whole life.
To stop consume drugs isn't easy. You have to realized first that drugs can destroy your life. That's mean you live in depression forever. Trying escape from your life problems to drugs is not a good way. There's many ways better than drugs.
People believe that saying NO to drugs same as saying no to people who offered you some drugs. And most people don't want to lose their friend just because rejected the offers of his/her friends. Maybe if you was offered by your friend to consume drugs, better you think the best reason how to reject it. Some example as saying no because you have to go to school, or church and you can also say that I have do what I have to do (anything).
In these case, parent should tell their children about drugs, mainly...
Drugs
Usually people who use drugs as escapism take heroin or crack, which are very extreme and addictive drugs. Ecstacy isn't addictive and is usually taken when clubbing.
As long as people are aware of the short term risks (overheating) they can greatly decrease the risk (by drinking water and taking breaks to cool down). The long term risks of ecstacy are unknown, but if people are aware of this and still want to take it I don't see what is wrong with that.
People will always do what they want. I think it is better to inform the child of the risks of drugs rather than paint it as entirely wrong (as that will only be more appealing anyway, and the child will then take drugs, realise how much fun they are, think that people have lied to them about drugs and then risk their lives because they are not aware of the dangers and how to decrease the risks.)
I know plenty of people who live successful lives and have been taking ecstacy, cocaine, acid, speed but whose lives are completely fine.
I also know people whose lives are consumed by drugs.
I think people should be educated better about the risks of drugs and what to do to keep safe when taking them, rather than just being told not to take them at all.
Drugs are fun, as long as you know what you are doing, when to stop and what precautions to take.
