The Fact About How Danger The Drugs Are?

The idea of this posting is after I read the Journal in one of the local newspaper with the original title ‘The lowdown on Drugs’ by Jane Raniati. In the original journal, she tells about the effect, side effect of the drugs and so on.

Here the summery I made with the different title.

Teens often find themeselves experiencing pressure from peers to try something they might not be ready for, not comfortable with, or even afraid of, like cigarettes, alchohol, shoplifting, sex and drugs.

In large cities like Jakarta and others, teens face hard choices every day, and they may be feeling pressures or urges that adult can’t comprehend. It’s not helfull to try to simply shield teenegers from these problems by telling them to shut their eyes, ears and mouths. Just saying “NO”

Young people need to know the facts and make decisions with open eye. Today’s teens are tomorrow’s leaders, and you hold theh key to combating and solving serious social challenges lke these in Indonesia or in the wordl extremly.

Drugs change the way think, feel and behave with reality or being yourselfs. For example: Ectasy users say it makes them feel close to other and want dance. Peope use shabu-shabu and other stimulants to feel more energetic or excited. Marijuana makes many people feel relaxed and happy. Heroin gives a pwerfull rush, and the user doesn’t think or care about anybody or anything while they are high.

You think this sounds cool? Think again. Taking any psycoactive drugs can lead to dependence. You may soon find you can’t deal with reality without drugs.

As with most drugs, your body builds up a tolerance to it­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­—this means that you need more, and more often, to get the feeling you want. That’s why people become addicts.

When their cash is gone, addicts may steal, even from friends and family, just to get their next dose. They often begin injecting the drugs to get a faster and stronger hit for a cheaper price, thus risking overdose.

In desperation, from peer presure, or just because they don’t care anymore. IDUs share needles with other user, risking infection with HIV, Hepatitis C and other dangerous diseases.

Once a person is addicted, trying to quite really hard and withdrawal can be very painful. Seeing a friend or relative who is a drug addict go through all this, and trying to help them, can be just as difficult and hurtfull.

Using drugs also brings some nasty side effects, as does some truly scary damage to your health—sometimes permanently. You probably know that smoking and drinking alcohol really damage your body, especially your heart, lungs and liver, but also your digestive system and brain, and can kill you with cancer and other diseases.

With almost all drugs, there the danger that while you are high or afterwards, you may feel deeply depressed—and this may last a long time or even become a permanent problem. Most teen suicide involves alcohol or drugs.

Hm, How danger the drugs for us? So, why should we try to ‘sucide’ by the drugs? Say ‘NO’ to drugs.
