LOTS OF REASONS NOT TO USE DRUGS

There are many reasons why I would not use drugs. It can make you sick, can
mess with your brain and can even make you die. It will mess up your
judgment and cause you to lose self-control. Drugs can make you do things
you don't usually do.

There are many different types of drugs in the world, like alcohol, cocaine
and tobacco. I think of smoking as a drug. My babysitter smoked and I
watched him die because of cancer from smoking. He had a hard time
breathing and even had to go to the hospital because his back hurt too much.

I saw what smoking can do to you and I don't want that to happen to me. And
that is why I will always say no to drugs!
