Yet Another Reader's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Ms. Drees! To anyone reading this that doesn't know her personally, you should check back on a few of my posts (she comments a lot). I just wanted to wish my "twin" a happy birthday, soooo yeah. I hope you had a great day and enjoyed your cake!


P.S. EVERYONE, MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? I just wanted to say that I'm am very sorry for the gaps between my posts, and I hope you can forgive me. Thanks (in advance). ♥

Peers

Your peers tend to be people you see often that are around your age. Peers can be kids you go to school with, people you work with, members of a club your in, etc., and because we have peers, we also have what's commonly refered to as "peer pressure". You know what I'm talking about. Peer pressure doesn't always have to be about something bad or dangerous, but is usually referenced when it is. Peer pressure is something most of us will have to deal with in our life time, and many of us will fall victim to. You might be pressured to do something illegal or to do something you just don't want to do, and sometimes, it is hard to say no when everyone sounds so encouraging, but if you're not thinking for yourself, then who is? ♥

Drugs

I have a required health class credit for high school and to help my self get a head start, I'm taking my health class in eighth grade. We've learned a lot about drugs and drug usage. Let me just say, if you are thinking about doing drugs of ANY sort, Google the effects on the body. I think you'll change your mind.

Some Drugs, Legal or Not:

• Heroin
• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Crystal Methamphetamine
• Steroids
• Tobacco
• LSD
• Mushrooms
• Alcohol
• GHB
• Prescription Medication
• Inhalants
• Rohypnol
• Ecstasy

Seem like a lot? Well, this is just a few. These drugs ALL have side effects. Don't think because some one you know does and seems okay, that it's alright. Most of the drugs above are ILLEGAL, especially if you're a minor. I've done research on some of these, and it's not pretty. VERY not pretty. ♥
