Personality break. I'm sorry, normally I can be bubbly on this blog, but today I need to cut the sassy stuff short so I can actually sound like I know what I'm doing. The following is a health project. I was gonna do a song, but we only had a week and there has to be lyrics. No way, Jose!
Ahem. Serious time.
Guess what?
Drugs are bad!
Dictionary dot com defines a drug as "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being." But that doesn't mean that all drugs are good. In fact, it states the definition of drug abuse right below:
"Drug abuse has a huge range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. All of these definitions imply a negative judgement of the drug use in question (compare with the term responsible drug use for alternative views). Some of the drugs most often associated with this term include alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methaqualone, and opium alkaloids. Use of these drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, both strongly depending on local jurisdiction. Other definitions of drug abuse fall into four main categories: public health definitions, mass communication and vernacular usage, medical definitions, and political and criminal justice definitions."
Yuck.
Maybe a little too wordy for me, so let's try and break it down a bit for you, okay?
Drugs help you recover from diseases and give you strength. Are we clear on that?
Step 2: Take the correct quantity of the drug, don't get associated with bad (illegal) drugs, and don't share prescriptions.
Here are a couple more facts about drugs that you may want to sit on:
-It is illegal to take prescription drugs from somebody else or buy drugs you shouldn't be touching. You can be charged with many years in prison or a very big fine. Although, when you think about it, you are really punishing yourself when you take them.
-Alaska is the worst state when it comes to drugs, but everywhere in the world, studies show that the most common place to find drugs are in schools.
-Every year, the worldwide drug usage goes up, sometimes doubling what studies showed the year previous.
-Effects of drug abuse include: multiple types of cancer to your throat, larynx, blood, lungs, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and cervix. Ew.
-Most people can tell if you've been abusing drugs. Your grades in school cannot exceed all C's, you smell bad, appear drunk all the time, and suffer from something similar to what my favorite Disney character, Dory, suffers from. At least, I think that is her name...
-People who bond well with their family are over 85% less likely to abuse drugs, take bad drugs, sell drugs, smoke cigarettes or marijuana, or anything like that because they have probably discussed not taking drugs with their family at one point or another.
-Preventing bad drugs or accidents associated with drugs from reaching your home: quality family time, stay fit and active, decide now to never take drugs and help others to make the same decision, recognise your talents, strengths, and weaknesses, and, believe it or not, people who play an instrument are much more likely to ever take drugs.
Guys, drugs are dumb. Don't use 'em, and you won't get hurt.
I mean, why do that to yourself? Not only is it a federal offense to take most of them, but you'll almost always die from the consequences of taking them. Let's see... thousand of dollars... a couple years behind bars... death...
It's the elongated version of suicide.
Ahem. Serious time.
