D.A.R.E Essay
When I was about 4 years old me, my brother, and my mom came home one day to find our babysitter lying in our kitchen floor dead. We called the ambulance and the police. They had found out the reason she died and the reason was that she did a lot of drugs and drank a lot of alcohol. After that incident it made me think of how bad drugs are and what they can do to a person. I think drugs are bad because they can cause brain damage, lung cancer, and memory loss.
Drugs can cause brain damage by interfering with the nerve cell that normally sends, receives, and processes information. When a drug enters the body it’s going through your system to give you that feeling of happiness. It makes you feel like you can’t get enough of it and that you want more. When a person starts doing drugs it’s really hard for some people to quit and if they can’t and continue to do it, it can cause really bad brain damage which makes your body weak but tells you it wants more making it worse.
Also, drugs such as cigarettes can cause lung cancer. They can cause that because smoking cigarettes can damage the lungs over the years you smoke. The tobacco in the cigarettes can attach to the cells in the lungs which can damage them. Any kind of drug can do this but cigarettes, cigars, pipes etc. can definitely cause lung cancer.
Finally, drugs can cause memory loss. They can do this by reducing the amount of oxygen that gets to your brain. People who smoke can barely remember people names and who they are. Some drugs can have some chemical affect to the brain which cause them to not remember anything in their past. Drugs can also cause you to get little sleep and make you wake up at weird times during the night which can cause anxiety and can lead you to not be able to concentrate.
In my conclusion, I have learned a lot about drugs and what it can do. During the week of D.A.R.E and from what our officer told us I have learned that you can’t have alcohol until your 21 years old, mixing
