DRUG PERILS

I think that drugs should be stopped because they are bad for
us.

They are bad because drugs can kill you or give you cancer. They kill
your brain cells and they don't grow back, and you get dumb. And once
you try it you get stuck on it.

Some even say to drink or get a cigarette will calm you down. Well, it
doesn't. It makes you worse.

Drugs ruin your life and your family. The way it ruins life is that
your family gets tired of having to smell that horrible smell and they
kick you out from your own house.

So, if you want to have a good relationship with your friends and
family, don't do drugs!
