If you're running low on time, my bottom line is this: Drugs and Alcohol are Stupid.
That's right, there it is.
Sure, they can help you relax or escape from the mundane; however, short term and long term I see very few other beneficial effects.
It makes me so sad to see how friends lower their potential by using and abusing drugs. We people can be so amazing, but also so stupid. I have seen friends with enormous potential throw it all away for parties, popularity and a night they won't remember later. Athletic success, educations, lives, families, friends- are all among those things that take a hard hit from drug use.
Everyone makes their own choices, I get that, but if you're reading this and frequently use or are even addicted to drugs or alcohol - find help! It exists! Whoever you are, you're amazing and can do even more amazing things without these addicting and harmful substances in your life. You can kick it! You can do it!
"Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude." ~ Jesse Jackson
