Drugs whether it's medication or for your own use, it can be become dangerous. It can affect the way your body and mind function; changing how you feel, think and behave.

A drug is a solid or liquid that is either taken for pleasure, or for medical purposes. The problem is that drugs SHOULD NOT be used for pleasure, as problems can develop. Overdosing is a big problem around the world, when you take to much of that pleasure, and let it take over your body. You let it take over your body, and it takes advantage of you. Next thing you know it, your laying in your death bed. That’s what drug abuse is. What if you WANT it to take over your body? What if you WANT it to take advantage of you? What if you WANT to be laying on your death bed, because of it? What if you are doing this on purpose? Now that’s the problem here.

Cutting yourself, burning yourself, drinking, and including taking those ibuprofen pills on your kitchen counter. You try those pills, take 3, then before you know it...you take 8. Then 12. Then the whole bottle. You go to the pharmacy, get more, and repeat. You repeat until the point where you fall on the ground unconscious. “Don’t do this, it’s not worth it. People love you, and those haters, are only jealous.” As overused and cringe these phrases sound, it’s true.
