Truth: I used to make straight A's in school. My big dream was to become a psychologist after I graduated. But drugs took my life on a different path. I was becoming so addicted. Wanting to feel that "high". Everyone else was doing it. It was the "cool" thing to do. My grades suffered and I was skipping school. I lost control of my life and let the drugs take over. Oh, how drugs can take over your life and control you. I used to have friends, but now my only friend is a blunt. It's become my best friend. Can't keep a job and my parents abandoned me. They were so disappointed. Wish I could go back and undo the damage that has been done...
Question: Is this how you want your life to be?
Author notes
Hi, I wrote the above is about my friend. This really is a true story because this is what happened to her and it is truly saddening. She used to be one of the top students in school, but now her life has become drugs and alcohol. I wish people would learn to say no to drugs because drugs are just horrible. It truly just takes over your life.

Oh my god, I thought you'd given up on AP altogether. Thanks for your comment, although its not showing up anymore (I'm not sure if you deleted it or what..) but I really have missed you terribly. How have you been? This is a really good piece, although sad that it applies to so many people. But we really should catch up sometime.. <3

Yeah, I had deleted the comment because I kinda chickened out. I felt so bad for how things ended last time that I felt maybe it was wrong of me to write a message so after a lot of debating I ended up removing it.

I truely believe if it wasn't drugs it would be something else. People who are consumed by drugs usually have this sort of addictive personality and something much more.
Still terible though.
