What I'm good at

People do drugs all around the world and people know it. People do drugs just because they want to get high and fit in with all their friends and everything. Like my friends they change and they fall under peer pressure into doing drugs. A lot of people fall under peer pressure into doing a lot of things that they don't want to do and then they regret it because they can not quit what they are doing. People are getting so addicted to drugs due to friends and family and it is harming themselves and also harming the people that love them the most. Why do people do drugs? They just want to be cool and be like every other person, but they do not realize what they are doing to themselves because their head is so into doing drugs that they cant live without it. Due to drugs people are suffering out there due to many diseases as cancer. Drugs damage your body, but not that many people see that. Drugs are addicting, but their is no reason to keep on continuing, you can always quit sooner or later because nothing is too late.
    Drugs are really dangerous and it can spread among other people as well. Drugs damage and pollute the earth as well and it is destroying our nature. Do people even see that? They don't even care what goes on and the world is coming to an end due to global warming. No one cares and no one seems to do anything about it. Its just like they want to just continue doing drugs and not care whats going around them at all. Do they not see who they are hurting, they are hurting everyone around them, the people that care about them the most especially their family. How would they feel if they lost a loved one. People just don't understand what drugs can do to you!! People have to stop doing drugs because it is causing damage among so many people.
    You should always protect your kid from any drug abuse at all. Kids and children should not get anywhere near drug abuse access or anybody who is dealing with drugs. You parents need to show your children what the good way is and not to influence them in a bad way. Children should be doing drugs in the first place and adults shouldn't be doing it too because it is showing a bad reputation among the kids and they will follow as well. Protect your children from drug abuse access.
    I am happy that the number rate is dropping and it did drop a lot kind of from 2005 to 2008. I think it should have been dropped down even more because that is 3 years difference. I think that the numbers should have been more lower and it shouldn't be that high to start off in the first place. 54,709 is still a really high number and it should be this high, in 3 years I think it should have dropped to about 40,000. People should learn and to quit because they do not know what they are doing to their bodies.The number of drug users in Myanmar had also decreased from 61,455 in 2005 to 54,709 in January 2008, it said.
    I am glad that these doctors are helping to stop the people are having alcohol and drug addiction all around the world and I am glad they are stopping it, but now they are no longer able to participate to stop it. Why are they not longer required? Who is going to stop the drug addiction and stuff. These drug addiction are killing people and we need doctors like these to stop all this and to help these teenagers and even adults to quit. Some Arizona doctors grappling with alcohol and drug addiction no longer are required to participate in the state's monitoring program that aims to help keep these medical professionals clean and sober.
    People shouldn't be doing drugs in the first place and drugs can lead to many harmful and dangerous things. When people do drugs they do stupid things that they are going to regret later in their life for what they have did and what is the reason why they are in jail. Drugs can also involve in many killing and going crazy and going berserk on somebody you don't even know and when that person is badly injured and goes to the hospital, then it is not a very good site. So many people are being killed due to drugs and the usage of drugs as well and people who have used drugs have also killed people too. Frosty, Heidi and Frank talk about a story involving a man selling off his kidney for $100,000.
    Drugs should be removed from the world forever and drugs should be created in the first place. Drugs is a really bad thing and no one should be doing drugs in the first place at all. Drugs damage your body and everyone needs to know that because you can die from it and you live a shorter life. Who wants to live a shorter life? Unless your life is a total misery. People need to understand and open their eyes and know why drugs are bad for them.

Focused Sentence: Drugs shouldn't be done no matter what even though you are pressured into it.

    People are pressured into doing drugs. Peer pressure is a bad thing and it is not a really good thing to experience. A lot of people fall under peer pressure which is a really bad thing because peer pressure can get you into a lot of trouble and makes you do the things that you don't want to do at all. A lot of people get pressured into doing drugs and then they regret it later. People should think before they do stuff and people need to see what they are doing to themselves.
     I do agree. If a worker is on a drug addiction or something or on the usage of drugs they should be kicked out because you don't know what might happen. That person might go crazy over drugs and do something really stupid that they don't even know that they are doing themselves. People who are working drug addicts should go get a treatment or something to help them quit and it should be required in every state to see if the worker is on a drug addiction or not because it is really bad for them and the people that work their and the customers as well.

When an employee voluntarily self-identifies as having a drug problem, the company might decide to place the person on a leave of absence to obtain treatment and have the employee enter into a "last chance assistance agreement." This type of action might even be required by law in some states.

    I think their should be a study youth everywhere so they should see which youth kids are doing drugs and whom are not. We need to protect these youth kids from them doing drugs or getting anywhere near a drug at all. Why are youth kids attending alcohol and drug treatment services? They shouldn't have to be taking these classes especially if they are young and they shouldn't be taking drugs and they know better. So much people get peered pressure into doing drugs and that is really bad. From drugs you can have mental problems and many issues as well. Like it says here 40 % have been state care during their lives which is meaning that they are being taken cared of because they are doing drugs and need medical treatment or they would not survive. Look at all the things that they have to go through when they take drugs. I hope these kids would learn a lesson. A study into youths attending alcohol and drug treatment services has found more than half have mental health problems and 40 percent have been in state care during their lives.

    I cant believe that Alex Rodriguez would do this and I can't believe I am hearing this about him as well of him using drugs, steroids. Steroids is really bad for you and it shouldn't be injected into anyone's body because it kills your body and your testosterone. Why was he taking these steroids in the first place when he knows that it is a bad thing and not allowed to be used in playing baseball. He is one of the most famous baseball players and people look up to him especially little kids and this is how he influence younger people? I think he is just a disgrace now and he is one of the best players and what he just did, I think he let his whole team down. Even though steroids give you stronger muscles and everything, it kills your body and you get addicted to it too like when you are doing drugs. Drugs like these shouldn't be done and it is a bad influence and showing a bad reputation against the younger kids. ... Alex Rodriguez stands accused of testing positive for testosterone and an anabolic steroid called myth and alone which is injected oral -- Which is injected or orally administered that according to steroid experts improves strength and maintains lean muscle.

     A lot of people have been abusing their children and I think this is really sad and I wouldn't imagine a parent beating up their kid, it would be such a brutal site to watch. Parents should not be abusing their kids at all and they should be put in jail or something. There are other ways to scold your kids. I also think 70 percent is way to much for kids to be involved in drug abuse. Why are kids involved anyways in drug abuse? People should help save these children from all the drug abuse and it shouldn't be done by children at all.

A significant number of abused children who are removed from their homes are due to their parents abusing methamphetamine, he said.

In fact, 70 percent of all child abuse cases involve drug abuse, according to Lori Moriarity, former head of the North Metro Drug Task Force and now executive director of the National Alliance for Drug-Endangered Children.

    Why should people be smoking 3 joints a day anyways. I think that is way too much and people should not be smoking at all. It can really cause damage and it can kill you as well. Smoking 20 cigarettes a day, you must be crazy. What are these people thinking? Smokers show more of if they smoke or not because they are not likely to do the same thing as regular normal people who don't smoke at all. I chose this quote because this quote really stands out with the numbers and it also damages the people's memories. People who smoke have short term memory and are not capable to memorize most of the things they are doing. Smoking shouldn't be allowed and I don't know why it was created in the first place. People have to open up their eyes and see what is ahead of them in the future.
Smoking three marijuana joints a day can cause the equivalent respiratory damage associated with 20 cigarettes a day. Marijuana smokers show significantly more respiratory symptoms than people who don’t smoke it. Prolonged use can cause attention deficit and deterioration in memory.

     I think this is a really good thing that Mexico doesn't have much drug addiction and doesn't have a widespread problem as well. This is a really good thing because their should not be a drug addiction problem at all anywhere around the world. People should reduce the addiction of drug problems and addiction around the world. It is true that these days the country is dealing with so many drug problems because every year people start to do more drugs and many people continue and they just don't want to stop. What is so good about drugs? People just want to release their stress by doing drugs, but their are other ways to release your stress too. People need to understand why smoking is so bad for them.
Not so long ago, stories like Lopez's were unusual in Mexico, where drug addiction had never been a widespread problem. These days, the country is dealing with an unprecedented epidemic of drug use that is partly a result of better U.S. border enforcement, experts say.

Great Job

Dear Andrew T.
I am amazed by your post, "Drugs Drugs Drugs Why do People Do Them?" because everyone who knows that drugs is bad and kills, but they do it anyways. Drugs is not a game and once who try them you're basically in a trap.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "A lot of people fall under peer pressure into doing a lot of things that they don't want to do and then they regret it because they can not quit what they are doing" I think this is mind boggling because you shouldn’t mess up your life just because you get pressured into doing something bad like drugs. You're basically killing yourself because someone who doesn't care about you pressured you to.
Another sentence that I found outstanding was: " They don't even care what goes on and the world is coming to an end due to global warming." This stood out for me because never knew drugs was one of the causes of global warming. I knew that drugs caused internal and external damage to the human body and I knew that drugs kills and caused changes in behavior, but I never knew it caused global warming.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I learned some things about your post. More people should read your post so they could learn more about this topic.

Dear ctai:

I am moved by your post, "Drugs Drugs Drugs, Why do people do them" becuase I ask myself that question almost everyday. I don't know why people do drugs. Some people do drugs be uase it takes of "stress" and some people do it for fun and think its cool. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: " You should always protect your kid from any drug abuse at all " I think this is true because it is true. Kids may see their parents or siblings doing drugd and thinking that It is ok. Drugs becomes a bad asdiction once you try it once.

Another sentence that I believed was: "Drugs are really dangerous and it can spread among other people as well. " This stood out for me because people can get attached to drugs quickly. People can even get attached to drugs bu second hand smoke. I do strongly agree with you that when people do drugs they do stupid things that they are going to regret later in their life One reason I say this is because when people use drugs, they tend to d stupid thkngs. At the time, it seems funny but later they see that what they did was stupid and ignorant.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I liked writing about this topic. Hope to see more of your post and articles.
