My Own Thoughts & Opinions
More and more people, especially teenagers, are being lured into taking drugs illegally. There are already enough positive advertisements and posters about staying away from drugs, but people still does it. Our government should pay more attention to it and try to eliminate the problem once and for all. It's not like our government haven't put enough attention, it's just that they need to pay more attention. Remember, drug abuse does nothing to you except ruining your life and your reputation.
