It seems so hard for some people to "just say no" for whatever reason in their life. I never had a desire to do drugs or alcohol. It didn't appeal to me to not be in 100% control of what I was doing. I never felt the need to do them when I was a teenager, and my two best friends felt the same way.<br/>As a first grade school teacher, we would always have a "just say no to drugs and alcohol" unit every school year. Unfortunately, some of the parents of the kids I taught were drug dealers or alcoholics. I saw what it did to the lives of their kids, and my heart ached for those kids. Good for you!

That is sooo sad to me. I mean, I know kids are gonna drink and sneak drinks but for it to go as far as what you are saying..well, it's just awful. <br/><br/>And you...well, I hope that you have some control over it and hopefully don't let it take over your life in any way.

I don't think it's good or smart but I wasn't influenced. I wanted to try, I did. Didn't make me any smarter though and it didn't change my life !<br/><br/>I have a problem with the legal drug actually, alcohol. It's so common where I'm from... Kids start drinking when they're 6-7 with their parents, get drunk when they're 12 and have all kind of trouble if they don't stop.<br/><br/>I guess I'd feel the same about drug if I had seen the damages it causes around me.

I guess I’d feel the same about drug if I had seen the damages it causes around me.

I'm sorry about your dad. You have to move on and make the best decisions you can so you don't end up in that situation. I am mentally strong...I wish more people were strong like that. Thanks for visiting. Baseballmom~~I just never wanted to do any of that stuff. I’m sorry about your dad. You have to move on and make the best decisions you can so you don’t end up in that situation.
