As, we all know there are about 25 million Americans that are addicted to drugs, Rather it be street, over the counter, prescription, or alcohol, all of these have side effects on your everyday life. Early drug use can lead to Family problems, Low self esteem and parents not being able to take on parenting roles.
Although some people think that if they just do it this one time it will be ok, I won't get hooked but what these people fail to realize is that drugs are very addictive especially heroin and using just one time can lead to the drug abuse.
Nowadays prescription drugs are getting easier for children to get a hold of because of where adults keep them, usually in the medicine cabinet, prescription drug abuse in children is becoming more prominent in today kids and this leads into them abusing drugs usually as an adult, or even worse harder drug use at an early stage in life. This can lead to mental health issues in the adolescent years, along with a poor vision of themselves and failing grades in school.
Every drug user is different in ways, but are the same in many ways, they have a problem with drugs.
Take for example John Doe who is a rich kid, was raised by a good set of parents, was a great student in school, and had no problem making friends, Never missed a day at work till something went completely wrong in his life; He begin using drugs to help him forget the problems he was facing.
He had a good friend named Jane Doe who was raised in a problem family, she had a hard time in school, and problems making friends, Jane begin using drugs because of this and while she was using, thought that she was doing well, everyone was her friend and she was the life of the party, what Jane failed to realize was that her life was based around the drugs that she was using.
See how the two are the same but yet different?
