Every one who has said drugs and alaochol are cool is wrong. I'm only 15 and I have had to go into re-hab. I did Meth, weed, DXM, E, Coke,airdusters and drank all the time. It started with just a ciggarette from one of my friends and then one joint, then coricidin. For a while i had friends who did them with me and then everyone faded away and I was alone. Passing out and puking in the girl's bathroom at school. Finally I dropped out in the middle of ninth grade to spend my time lying on the bathroom floor or sleeping on the beach because I was too trashed from parties at the strip to get home. I treated myself like a trash can and I regret it so much. While my old friends were shopping and hanging out at the mall I was killing myself from the inside out. I was so lonely from all the drug use that I eventually tryed to kill myself. Thank god I was coming off the high just barely enough to keep myself from going to Physche ward.It starts with one joint, one pill...etc. It may not happen to everyone but most people end up addicts. I was lucky I got another chance. I went to re-hab moved in with my best friend's family I start back at high school again next year and will be back in the ninth grade. But that doesn't bother me. I have vowed to respect myself and not make the same mistakes twice. I just want people to realize the horribale truth behind the fantastic highs people get. Don't be fooled by the trippy colors .... please resist doing drugs. Or at least get out of the cycle before you end up dead in a ditch somewhere.

yea man drugs kick ass

Think what uve posted is great . And congrats on having your life back .

Well, just becuz you do drugs doesn;t mean that you are wrong, it just means that you need something to soothe you. Not to much though, just enough to soothe you if you are all like stressed out or something.

Thanks for your answer. I just never understood that. I always did what my parents told me to... for the most part. hehe If I didn't do what they told/taught me they weren't going to find out about it.

My dad was a deadbeat in Florida. I ignored everything my mom said to me. She's a mother of 6 kids and she's married to another deadbeat. She also worked nights which is when my friends would come pick me up and we would head to the beach for parties on the strip. I would be so trashed we ended up sleeping on the beach and wakeing up in the morning to go find a buck and catch the bus home. My mom caouldn't do much. Alot of people say " Why didn't she beat your a**" Well because my mom is 4'11" and very weak. If my step dad had touched me he would have been dead. It was easy for me to ignore whatever she said to me. If she had quit her job to make sure I was home we would have ended up homeless. I mean I was used to spending 2 to 3 days at the beach on drug binges. There wasn't much she could have done.

I'm just curious as to where your parents were when all of that was happening? I've always wondered how kids get to such a bad state of things and their parents didn't do anything. I'm not judging your situation because I've never been in it, but I'm sure you've heard people say before, "Where were his/her parents at?" I mean, if it was that bad, how could they not of noticed?

I didn't choose to become an addict at 14. I was caving to peer pressure. I fell into a group of kids I thought were my friends and ended up loosing them as soon as the drugs took over. I didn't just say " Oh hey let me become addicted to this stuff" it was a process that you don't realize is happening.

No, you didn't choose to become an addict. But, you were the one who caved into the peer pressure. You didn't HAVE to cave into that. You decided too, you could've brought yourself back up.

I do understand that it's a process, I was addicted to Tylenol. It was a Tylenol to when I had a headache, to taking one everyday for no reason. If I take one for a headache I start all over again. Some people are born addicts.

I'm sorry that all of that had to happen to you at such a young age. But that is stupid becoming an addict when you're only in the 9th grade. Why would you want to reck your life like that? You should've thought about your actions and you were very dumb for doing that. You could have taken control way before all of that happened. Not everyone is reckless and irresponsible.

Not everyone has no self control.

I m glad that you are clean again and have your life under control. Atleast you stopped before it killed you. I know too many people that are on drugs. I will never do drugs. I ain't about to turn out like my cousin in jail for 3 counts pocession. I ain't about to do something that will detroy my body like that either.
It's great that you quit. That is great news. I hope you the best in your future. I hope your story unmasks the horrible truth to others. Drugs are not all fun and games.
