Drugs seem to be everywhere nowadays. Everywhere I look it seems as though someone is either popping, drinking or smoking something. I often times wonder what these people are thinking the outcome of these will be once they're thirty. I know that teens are going to experiment, but they also need to know the outcome if they make habit of their weekend fun. Teens need to know that people who use and abuse drugs and alcohol are only hurting themselves as well as their loved ones in the long run.
Being eighteen myself, I know all of the pressures of drinking and drugging. I am not going to like and say that I've never had a beer or that I've never taken a hit off of a joint, but I will say that I am at least wise enough not to make it habit. Someone very close to me was not so lucky.

Young Woman Mother with Daughter GirlWhen my mother was a mere thirteen years old she had her first drink. A year later she smoked her first cigarette and a few months after that came the marijuana.

Hopefully, the recovery will be permanent but your mother may need the continuing support of the entire family to stay drug free and sober.
The only difference I can detect between this and your other essay of the same title is that it includes the following final sentence: "If you would like to use me as a personal source in your paper cite me as: Meagan Vogel of Memphis, TN." Of course, anybody who cites the above paper would have to use CheatHouse as the source because once the essay is accepted, it becomes the site's property. Nonetheless, the information you provide is important and it is kind of you to allow others to refer to the paper's author by name. Since both of your essays contain substantially the same information, it may be that one of them will not be accepted as a duplicate.
