Once I saw a lot of drunk people at 6 A.M in front of a church having oral sex, that was one thing I won't forget soon, they were teens, and were on that kind of life already, that's sad :S

I think it is weird, I mean, wrestling is a sport, athletes are an example of healthy life, not doing any kinds of drugs or excessive alcohol, it's okay to drink sometimes, but being an addict would sound weird.

That is right, most people learn to drink or to do drugs with people that already do that, that are already addicts and introduce other people (their friends usually) to the addiction

Last year I went to a prom party, which is obviously related to school lol, the party was over very early because there were too many drunk under aged students who were breaking a few things, that's sad.

Getting drunk may sound very funny when we are teenagers, no one can deny that, the only bad thing is if it extends to your adult life, which should be considered a problem, I think you should take a few drinks sometimes, but never in excess, just that :P

Allowing kids to drink "a few" is a very bad thing as it influences them for a later time, maybe you should learn to drink socially, at pubs and all, just not getting drunk, things like that might help, don't u think?

What do you think about that? :P
A lot of people (like me), dream about travelling to Las Vegas for example, is must be a paradise to addicts, but pretty cool, don't u think?

Celebrities influenced people since very long ago and will keep on doing it, as you said, if they could make something good out of it (such as charity), it would be a good example, but it's not...
Legal drugs

We take drugs everyday, and that is very bad for kids for example, who are taking a lot of caffeine in sodas for example, don't you think these things will give us problem after some time?

Getting out of an addiction is not the most difficult thing, but not having a come back is certainly the most hard thing, that's what should be worked out, lowering it more each time, untill you are free and don't need it anymore..

Nowadays people do not need to be 18 anymore, they just need to look like it lol
you should learn how to ride your 18 years old life, you are more free, but have more responsabilities too :)

That is a bad thing because a lot of people want to be like celebrities, look like them and act like them, some people can even thing that smoking is a "glam" thing, when it is just another dirty thing!

Hmm, that's a nice project, it must be encouraging as a lot of teens stopped smoking from that, and they are right on that "keep going" thing as it is hard to stop and not having a comeback!

hmm, well, it is strange that you feel like smoking sometimes, even after 15 years, but I can see you controlled that very well, so you deserve congratulations, don't let this little time when you feel like having a cig affect you :D

That is very good, technology being used for something really good, glad to see Japan taking that step :)
I always saw these machines as a way for teens to get cigarettes, now I can see something different, great move!

I really don't like them, I mean, the quality of the commercials is amazing, they are very well made, but they influence a lot of people to smoke, that is bad! A good thing is that several countries prohibited that on TV, but there's still a lot

well, that's a problem, I think you should try not to go to the mall, go to a smaller local store, and a good thing would be to buy gifts, try buying almost nothing for you, you'll be happy for buying and happy because other people will be happy too, what you think?

im 17 and ive been addicted to cocaine since i was 16 and everything you say is absolutely true. im the only person that i know my age with a withdrawn bank account of -350$. I've been fired from several jobs for coming to work strung out or them finding out I am on it. Over the coarse of just a year, I went from smoking marijuana to shooting up cocaine, and at the age of 17, I feel so drained. Sometimes I feel like im dead after doing it a lot.
Recently I have decided to try and stop, and its very hard but i figure i need to now before its too late. because i want a family and a home, and i dont want drugs in my future.


You have given a big step, realizing you are an addict, and if you really feel like changing it, it won't be that hard, let us know how your recovery is ;)

That's good to hear, I mean, she is a terrible example, and now she has been punished, this will be an example for those who follow her attitudes, good luck with the community job Lindsay, hope you will learn the lesson!

Maybe they are trying to bet a time limit? or high with cocaine in that time. Or maybe they are just plainly stupid. But that is great news to read having a life wrecking drugs caught.



that is what I thought too, maybe there were late to deliver that, or they tried some of it, that's weird, anyway, it is grea that they got caught, a good example ;)

The worst drug

Which drug do you think is the worst one?
I think it is heroin, it's one of the strongest drugs around and most users are lead to death with that...

your boyfriend had an overdose the first time he took it? or wasn't it the first time?
That is bad, I hope you both will be free from that and get a healthier life :)
Drunk politicians

I think they are one of the worst examples we can have, they are leaders. There was a politician in Russia, I can't remember his name, who used to give speeches completely drunk, such a bad example, isn't it?
