Be Wise

“Be Wise—Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

Alcohol is a drug. Drugs only have negative impacts on people. They shouldn’t even be a reason why one should begin to use alcohol. Me as an eleventh grader has seen people lost in their addiction. I pity them. But I am also thankful that by seeing these people suffer I am reminded of the horrifying effects. Drugs do not only damage you physically, but mentally as well. There is so many reasons why one shouldn’t use drugs and people are still naïve about it. It doesn’t take knowledge to prevent you from doing drugs, but it does take wisdom. One may know all the facts about the damages a drug may cause, but will still go on and doing it. A wise person would take in consideration th4e consequences and would not take any drugs. There are millions of people who suffer from addiction, such as alcoholism. I, for example, do not need to search hard to find someone who is suffering because of drug use. I have an uncle who is a coke addict. His life is thrown away. He lives in a near city, and there comes days when I see him on the street filthy, unshaved, and totally out of it. I find that very sad. Knowing one of my love ones is going through such a horrible experience. I constantly wonder what could he had made with his life if he had never tried drugs and gotten hooked into it. I am so many others suffer just like my uncle. It is something that can easily be prevented. I wish my uncle had the wisdom to not ever even try out the drug. I wish the same for the rest who are hooked, but I know that there are still many who can never start. They just have to be wise enough to say no, and realize it is not worth it.
