Answer 2

If you are feeling peer pressure to take drugs (or continue to take drugs), the first thing you need to do is ask yourself if the people who are trying to influence you are true friends. Most of the time you will find that avoiding people who are involved in illegal activities is the best decision you can make for yourself.

Sometimes you will have to do a complete reversal of what you think is important or cool. If you fear for your life around the people who have introduced you to drugs, you should talk to a school counselor (a parent preferably, but since you are asking the question on Wiki, I think you do not feel comfortable speaking with your parents.) School officials usually already know who the "druggies" are and they have lots of suggestions for how you can get out of that clique.

If you want to appear to be "cool"...for example, you play football and a bunch of your loved teammates have discovered drugs...they want you to join them and you think if you don't, that you will lose status in that group. A very easy way out is to say "I'm taking medication and my doctor told me not to take anything with it...not even over the counter medication." That way, they won't take your refusal "to partake" as an insult to their new "images."

Even though you may want to be part of WHATEVER group..you have a red flag going up and you need to listen to it.

Keep on being you and don't ever let anyone talk you into doing something you feel is wrong, dangerous or would make you feel less of yourself. Other excuses: you "have a test", your "parents regularly and randomly test your urine", and you "had a nightmare that something bad would happen to you if you ever do drugs/that stuff."

Good luck!

If you need to talk to someone about it, try talking to FRANK (just search FRANK on the internet)

Answer 3

Stay away from those types of kids who do drugs, smoke, drink and any other inappropriate bad habits. Join a church group is the only safe way now days.

Church groups are fine, but are you really need to do is say " This is MY body. I get to decide what does or does not go into it, and I don't want or need any advice on the subject. " .

1. Drugs mess with your mind

Drug use can cause you to lose your ability to remember things, to think clearly and to study properly. Drug use gives you the impression that you are more alert and aware, but under the influence of drugs you are actually lessaware, and less alert.

Drug use can also cause people to act in strange unpredictable ways. A person can undergo a complete personality change when under the influence of drugs. Since drug residues can remain in the body for many years after they were taken, the effect on the mind can last a long time. Don't lose your mind! Avoid drugs.

2. Drugs mess with your body

Drug use can make you ill and an overdose can kill. Drugs are poisons after all. The list of diseases you can catch as a result of using drugs is very long and includes Hepatitis C, HIV and AIDS. Since drugs also use up your body's supply of vitamins and minerals, you become more prone to diseases. Many drug users suffer from malnutrition as a result of their habit. Why be a loser? Stay healthy!

3. Drugs mess with your wallet

Drug use interferes with your ability, which can make it harder to earn money. In the long run, the more competent a person is in a job, the more likely that such a person will earn a higher salary. However a person under the influence of drugs is quite likely to make expensive mistakes and be incompetent. That is unemployment waiting to happen.

Also, a drug habit can be REALLY expensive (up to hundreds of pounds per day!) and this is why many addicts are forced into crime. Don't waste your money. Drugs are the ultimate betrayer - you pay big money to destroy yourself.

4. Drugs mess with your travel plans

Anyone convicted of drugs offences will not be allowed entrance into some countries such as Japan, Canada and USA.

Why lose exciting opportunities to travel?

Why limit your options as to where you want to work & live?

Many people like to work abroad, particularly in the USA, for a time during their career. This would be impossible with a criminal record.

5. Drugs mess with your life

Drug use that seems a "cool" idea in the beginning can turn into a living nightmare that includes accidents, hospitalisation, a life of crime, a criminal record, hurting those you love, destroyed relationships, a prison sentence and death. Drug users often lose their enthusiasm for life, give up sports and hobbies etc, in their fixation on the next score for their habit. Taking drugs definitely gives you a new lifestyle, but it is the lifestyle of a sad loser with no prospects.

6. Drugs mess with the planet

Many drugs are grown in Third World countries. The drug barons involved cut down forests for space to grow the drugs, thus destroying the natural habitat for thousands of creatures and upsetting the ecological balance.

It is true that natural forests are cut down for constructive reasons by legitimate companies, but there are laws in place which compel those companies to plant new forest as replacements. Drug criminals, needless to say, ignore these and all other laws. Buying and taking drugs encourages more natural forest to be destroyed.

7. Drugs mess with society

Criminals manufacture and sell drugs. They do not care what effects the drugs have on their victims; they are only interested in the money. These criminals terrorise ordinary people and society, using violence against anyone who tries to stop them. These criminals establish a social environment where there is no respect for law & order, only respect for violence. This generates fear, suspicion and misery in our communities. This destabilises society and could lead to its disintegration.

Buying and taking drugs supports this criminal infrastructure.

8. Drugs mess with your love life and fertility.

There is evidence that abuse of drugs can lead to impotence in males. Certainly, abuse of drugs in females can affect unborn children, with the babies of drug addicts far more likely to be underweight and to suffer from birth complications.

The damage that drug use can do to one's physical appearance is very obvious.

9. Drugs mess with your hopes and dreams.

Drug addicts, when craving their next fix, often do not care about anything other than the immediate high demanded. All other considerations, every aspect of normal human behaviour are ignored in this compulsion. Everyone has hopes and dreams for the future, but for addicts those hopes and dreams only focus down to where the next score is coming from. Hopes and dreams for the future? Only despair and nightmare for addicts.

Drugs are for losers…
