Drugs

This is an entry from the book Go Ask Alice: (highly recommended book)

THIS MIGHT BE LONG BUT READ IT, ITS WORTH IT. (This is only part of the journal entry)

“July 10,

Dear Diary,

I don’t know whether I should be ashamed or elated. I only know that last night I had the most incredible experience of my life. It sounds morbid when I put it in words, but actually it was trememdous and wonderful and miraculous.

(She goes to her friend Jill’s and introduce her to drugs.)

My whole body was tense at every muscle and a feeling of weird apprehension swept over me, strangled me, suffocated me. When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was just Bill who had put his arm around my shoulder. Suddenly he seemed to be repeating himself over and ober like a slow-motioned echo chamber. I started laughing, wildly, hysterically. It struck me as the funniest, most absurd thing I had ever heard. Then I noticed the strange shifting patterns on the ceiling. I watched the patterns change to swirling colors, great fields of reds, blues, and yellows. I tried to share the beauty with others but my words came out soggy, wet, and dripping or tasting of color. I pulled myself up and began walking, trembling, feeling a slight chill which crept inside as well as outside my body…”

Later on, she talks about magazines that she sees in 100 dimensions, floating, and dancing before everyone. It goes on for 5 pages discussing her first experience with drugs. THIS is what could be happening to your teenagers. From as young as 11, experience with drugs. In fact, a girl in my middle school came to school high one day.

I am not showing this to encourage teenagers to do drugs, but to read the experience of the anonymous girl named “alice” and her struggles while becoming an addict. I also recommend this book to parents so you know what COULD HAPPEN and what HAS HAPPENED.
This is what they do, and you have to find some way to stop it.
