It's Not COOL Anymore
Smoking is no longor the "IN" thing.
Teen drinking has gone way down in the popularity area. Why?
Because everyone living teen can name at least one person who's died driving drunk.
I used to buy those candy cigaretts and then pretend they were the real thing, I'd stand somewhare and then pretend to be smiking.
The bummer is no one said anything to me.
No, thats wrong kid.
No, this will kill you.
Nothing. radio silence. But then again I watch shows, (there mentioned in my profile thing)
That have all the stuff I just told you was wrong.
Sooooooo you need desernment. P.S. 99.9 % sure I spelled that wrong.
But I do. I know that drinking is wrong. That smoking is dumb and that drugs never got anyone anything but a movie and a really bad headache. And a bunch of kids writing about them on a web site.
I've met some people who I have told me that drugs make them feel good.
I won't deni that. That's what drugs were made for..
But they DIM the pain they don't get rid of it.
