,,Drugs aren’t cool ,they make you

look like a fool’’

This quote means that taking drugs isn’t cool , they won’t make a better
image for yourself. By taking drugs you show everyone what a completely
fool you are , you ruin your health ,your body, and people will start
avoiding you because who wants to be seen with a person who takes
drugs. So my advice is DO NOT take drugs because they won’t give you
anything good.

Personal feelings
In my opinion people start taking drugs for fun ,then again ,
and again till they are addicted. Taking drugs became a daily
thing and even though they want to quit ,they can’t. Drugs can even cause mental
illness and you can even try to harm yourself or even take your own life. Drug users can
even start being paranoid about the people around them and , may start thinking that
their friends are turning against them. They may become aggressive and violent toward
other people, even family and friends. So you see drugs can destroy friendships. It’s
important to talk about drugs with your family.
Every parent and teacher needs to talk with the kids to tell
them the risks of taking drugs and the things that can
happen. Having convesations like this can prevent a lot of
kids and teenagers or even adults from taking drugs. Taking
drugs affects a person’s life by starting to have heart
problems, can have cancer, affects your kidney and liver and
you will have dental problems such as cavities. You should
live a healthy life ,and if every day at least one person will do
this too at the end of the year the number of deaths will
decrease.
