overdosing

TRIGGER WARNING

I've known/know so many people who smoke, inject and take drugs. 
I won't name anyone, but I have dealt with being with someone who does drugs. 
As someone with experience with drugs, don't get involved. 
My brother, was addicted to the point where he sold most of his belongings in order to obtain money to buy drugs from a dealer at my school. 
He's in his 20's 
Please don't 
It may seem fun at first 
But before you know it, everyone around you is worried for your life
My close friend, always smoked, took pills or did some form of drugs 
And he lost a lot of friends that way 
He still had friends but they weren't real friends 
They were his drug buddies 
He ignored me for them all the time and he doesn't even remember because he was so high all the time 
If you smoke, or do anything with drugs 
Stop while your at it 
My family member 
Not my brother, was a drug dealer at one point in his life, in his teens/young adult hood 
And it was due to his brother 
He regrets every second of it 
Dropping out of high school, losing friends, stopping everything only to do stuff with drugs 
He got out of that slump years ago 
And still hates his brother for getting him into the mess 
This guy in my school 
Known as the dealer 
Dropped out to become the biggest dealer in my state 
Those are his priorities in life 
Don't ruin your life for one feel good moment 
I understand those who do it to forget and not think about life 
But that's avoiding the subject 
And that's only a short term answer 
For a long term life if you're lucky 
I'm not talking about weed, if you use that in moderation immune opinion that's fine, that won't kill you 
It will harm your lungs though 
I'm not condoning anything 
If you're not old enough to even smoke a cigarette 
Under 18 or 21 depending on where you live 
Don't smoke 
Bottomline 
I'm 16, and I've not followed that rule and I regret it 
Another family member in high school when they were that age was that type of kid 
Hung out with those who smoke, do lsd 
Her friend almost died when he was tripping on lsd 
He was having a bad trip and was throwing all of his stuff out of the top window in his building 
He almost jumped out into traffic 
Please don't harm yourself 
Before it's too late 
I hear stories about kids all the time overdosing and it's terrible 
I hate hearing about kids and their families reaction to their young child dying over drugs 
Please stay safe 
Wherever you are in life 
Stay safe <3
