In this generation alcohol and drugs are becoming more accessible to children and young adults. If one thinks about it, children and young adults can get drugs from home, parties or even at school. There really is no safe place for children to go and be completely drug free. More children feel that if they have do drugs or if they have drink alcohol this will impress their peers and then it will make them appear cool. When the child wants to fit in with their peers, then they will do anything to
Live Freely Drugs and alcohol has been used for self medication. Both serve a depressant. A person may start experiencing symptoms of an undiagnosed mental illness. They may not understand what they are feeling, not know how to asses help, or being hesitant about seeing a professional. Instead of seeking for help, they turn to drugs and alcohol for relief.

Alcoholism is a chronic brain disease that affects all walks of life and does not have any bounders (Gossop, Stewart, & Marsden, 2008). I choose to attend an Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) meeting since this disease is prevalent among adolescents and adults. The meeting was held in the first-floor forum at Pilgrim Congressional Church in Queens New York. The goals of the AA meeting were stated explicitly by the leader conducting the meeting. The mission of the organization is to maintain sobriety by helping
who attend are going through that same specific topic. They give an individual the tools to overcome and get through whatever their dealing with. These meetings are nothing compared to what we see on tv, to don’t really see the emotional pain and abuse that people really deal with. Nothing in life is ever easy you must take everything one step at a time and take things as they come. Always accept a person for who they are and never judge someone based on what they have been through or what they are

In schools alcohol is taught to be a bad, foreign, and a taboo subject; this is because many Americans abuse alcohol. They are not responsible or respectful when consuming liquor. With this in mind a group of concerned mothers joined together to protest against alcohol. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) advocated that in all 50 states the legal drinking age must be raised to 21 years of
“Every Little Hurricane” by Sherman Alexie In the story “Every Little Hurricane” the author Sherman Alexie says “In other nightmares, in his everyday reality, Victor watched his father take a drink of vodka on a completely empty stomach. Victor could hear that near-poison fall, then hit, flesh and blood, nerve and vein. Maybe it was like lightning tearing an old tree into halves. Maybe it was like a wall of water, a reservation tsunami, crashing onto a small beach. Maybe it was like Hiroshima or

The first-person point-of-view found in Poe’s "The Cask of Amontillado" is essential in creating the central theme of the story. This style of narration is also important in this particular story, because when a murderous protagonist, Montresor, is allowed to tell the story from his own perspective, the reader obtains a disconcerting look into his mental composure from the initial conjuring of his plan to the end result. The style of narration develops the unsettling tone of the story by allowing

After reading Nicomachean ethics, Book ll, my main conclusion of it is that us as humans

The continuance of democracy for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) and dual
I admit it, college is a scary place. It can be intimidating and even overwhelming at times, especially to those freshmen with bright eyes and a lack of coffee addiction. I get it, I was there once. As I stepped into my first class as a college freshman, I 'm not going to lie, I thought this would be a walk in the park. In my mind, I knew exactly what I was going to do. I was going to get through with these meaningless classes so that I could eventually take on some fancy job doing who knows what
