be wise dont use drugs or alcohol

 Drugs are dangerous to the people who use them, but people who use drugs don't only hurt themselves. The people around those who do drugs can be hurt in many different ways too. Saying "NO" to drugs is smart and helps to keep yourself and others safe.

There are all types of drugs and alcohol, but the main thing they have in common is that those who use them often get hooked on them and then it is very hard to stop, even when you really want to. That is what we call addiction, you may have heard of someone being addicted to something. You may have also heard of other familiar terms such as substance abuse, drug or alcohol abuse and drug addiction
 People often begin to use drugs or drink a lot of alcohol to avoid the things that bother them most. Some examples of the things people may want to avoid are: pressure from friends, stress in the family, hassles, the feeling that adults are on their case, or the lousy feeling of being different from everyone else in the world. People start to use drugs and alcohol to make themselves feel better. The problem with that is, drinking or using drugs only ends up making things worse. Alcohol and other drugs may make a person feel good for a short time when high, but when the high wears off, the person feels lousy and may even feel depressed. Once a person is addicted, all they begin to care about is getting high, and once the high wears off, they need to take more just to feel normal again. That is the problem with addiction, it means it becomes very hard to stop drinking or doing drugs. An addicted person feels like they need drugs or alcohol and may feel sick if they do not have any. Drugs or alcohol become all that the addicted person wants. It becomes their main priority, even more than family, friends, everything
