I know I’m going to step on some toes with this…I guarantee.
Ok well this was really hard to put into words…and to be honest I still don’t really know what to say or how to say what I’m feeling. But I think it’s just dumb that some of my close friends are doing or trying drugs. I’m not going to single anybody out, but I just hate the fact that we know what they do to us and not everyone has the mindset I have. Why put those terrible things into your body? My friends have told me, “It’s not that bad, it’s not like I’m doing them all the time”. Well I don’t care if you did it once or do them all the time, they’re still bad for you and it’s getting to the point where at some point you just have to let them go as your friend, because if they’re going to keep putting that into their bodies and doing harmful things to their bodies, then why waste all my time caring about them? There’s no point. I know that people will still do drugs regardless of what I preach. But I’m going to lead by example and never do drugs, because I’m not stupid enough to try them. Everyone has a choice to do drugs. It’s not the “only way to cope” go get help. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and being depressed and think you’re “cool” because you do drugs because you’re the stupid ones for trying them.
So I guess the more I started to think about it the easier the words just flowed onto the page and how I really feel about my friends doing drugs…so this is my how to change the world project:
1) My goal is to stop my close friends from doing drugs.
2) It’s important to me because we grow up knowing what the effects of drugs are on our bodies and nobody cares. They feel its ok and it’s not ok with me. It’s against my morals.
3) I can start in this project in class.
4) I don’t need support, I just need people to listen and actually care about why I’m caring about them.
