Anti-Drug Use Message

Anti-Drug Use Message

• Stress
• To gain acceptance (be cool)
• Curiosity
• "They're fun"
• Attention

Stress

• Some drug abuse affects your brain as much as stress does or even worse. Not using drugs is a way better option, as stress is not an excuse to allow drugs toward yourself.

To Gain Acceptance

• Peer pressure can easily be turned down. If you think drugs will make you cool, then you think dying at a young age with an ugly unhealthy physical appearance is too.

Curiosity

• Have you ever heard the phrase "curiosity killed the cat?" it's simply saying that curiosity can be dangerous, in this case, the phrase is correct. If you think you're just going to try drugs once and nothing will happen, then you'd be very lucky. Most of the time that "once" turns into a twice, then a third time, to maybe an addiction. Even if you do try it once you might have a huge allergic reaction.

"They're Fun"

• The likeliness of you becoming an addict and losing the opportunity or the skill in something positive that you actually do love doing, is high.

Attention

• If you try drugs for attention, the only attention you are bringing to yourself is negative. You are better off bringing attention to yourself in a more positive way. (sports, art, music, social, grades)
