Many people have been brought up not to do drugs, and there are many reasons why. If you would ever go up to one of those kind of persons and asked them why they don't smoke or drink, most likely they would answer " Because I don't do that" or, "Because they mess you up big time" but the one that always seams to be brought up is "Because they kill you!"

Those kinds of people ignore this information and don't take it as a lesson. As the statements above have increased major lie by the years they have also been increasing because of the teenagers around the age of 15-18.
