The Six Most Important Choices You Ll Ever Make
Everyone makes bad choices in their lives and that is how we learn, but the choice of becoming addicted to drugs can impact our lives forever. Sean Covey, the author of The Six Most Important Decisions You’ll Ever Make: A Guide for Teens gives teens strong advice they need to know for making difficult and important choices in life. By using real life circumstances Covey connects with his readers to help lead them to the right choice. The choice of becoming addicted to drugs can be so powerful that it could lead to many other important health issues in our lives. Becoming addicted to drugs can simply happen just from trying them one time or it can happen from doing drugs on a regular basis. A quote said by Kanchan Kalcker is “Taking drugs
is not stylish or cool. It is dangerous, reckless, and it will take your life away”(qtd. in Covey224) Doing drugs is especially horrible in high school, at such a young age you can fall into peer pressure, when you are not even aware of what is going on. Getting addicted to drugs at such a young age can bring up many health problems later on. The scary part is these addictions can take your life away in a blink of an eye. In my high school career I plan to implement staying away from the people I feel might have a negative influence on me and those who might pressure me into trying drugs. I will make this happen by staying away from these types of people because they might have a life style I do not want to adopt into my life.
