When doing illegal drugs, a person can ruin his life. He steals, lies, and and may end up in jail. He may also cause his family to worry. When someone is trying to support his drug habbit, he will most likley steal from family or strangers when he runs out of money. He may also lie to his family just so he may be able to get more durg money. If someone decides to steal or lie, and gets caught, he will end up in jail. The saddest part of someone doing drugs, is the tourment that person puts on his parents. If this person has a child and ends up in jail, that child will never know him as a father. One of the hardest parts of being a parent with a child on drugs, is not knowing whether or not your child will be coming home or if something terriable will be happening to them.

Illegal Drugs
I agree with you when you state that taking illegal drugs can ruin people's lives. You are also correct in observing that the effects go beyond just the drug user and often adversely affect family members and others. This issue is so important that some people may believe that it is nearly impossible to do the subject justice in only 317 words. The first and last few sentences of this essay are the same as in your other essay of the same title. I note that you have added approximately ninety words to your other essay to produce this one, but you may want to further expand what you've written by doing additional research. The Department of Justice and emergency room statistics which you cited are informative but indicate that you should have included a bibliography also. Keep writing!
