The fact that young people have a "need " to get high tells you there's something very wrong. And then when you have the media glamorizing ilicit drug use, drug dealing and violent drug culture, again, your common sense has to wake up to the facts. And we don't need biased stats to tell us otherwise especially when parents can actually see what's going on with their kids. More and more movies are glamorizing the use of drugs as being cool with an appeal towards breaking the law. A lot of times the same urge to get high takes young kids into darker routes for the purposes of finding a new reality. Too many times it robs young people's judgments before they're even old enough to be able to develop more mature and responsible critical thinking. Today that impulsive need to "leave reality" has young people going into their family bathroom cabinets, sniffing paint cans, etc. or whatever will do the job. It's so sad. Now that the drug epidemic is spilling into many American suburbs and by and large affecting a larger segment of the population, people are stirring up a lot of concern. And even if the biased stats on corralation don't report the truth, all the negative influence in the media really, really doesn't help.
Oh aint it cool !
Uhhh, maybe not !
