Must say NO.
Next year is college. Life is going to be a roller coaster ride.School over and you are your own master.Plus you are 18 , officially an adult. That's big deal.With it comes big responsibilities as well.You would want to experience life in all its myriad colours and shades.You don't want to miss a thing.But drugs is something you must give a miss. It will damage your brain and all the vital organs and will make you a boring recluse..As I told you in class " trust him and he will take everything you have ...And you will be left with nothing. Your body belongs to you.Take good care of it.Keep it healthy , strong and beautiful.Then you can enjoy the good things of life forever. The natural pleasures of sports, love, exercise , adventure , service and food ( esp.chocolate) can be enjoyed infinity. But the pleasure or high you get with stimulants /drugs cannot be repeated in the same level.Its diminishing pleasure.And in the long run ,an addict gets no pleasure at all from drugs, but only relief from the withdrawal symptoms.Withdrawal is terrible..muscle cramps, head aches, paranoia,nausea,violent behaviour...you really dont want to go down that road.Your loved ones would never be able to bear to see you suffering like that.
Drugs kills you from inside.It kills your capacity to feel naturally.Imagine a beautiful bright morning, with chattering birds and fluttering butterflies and flowers dancing around with your merry friends, and you cant enjoy it ,as your senses are dead...how sad it will be.So mind your drugs.Even if a doctor is prescribing tranquilisers, amphetamines, mood altering drugs and stimulants; think if you really need it, and avoid taking drugs if it's not absolutely necessary. Sunshine and exercise can cure most lows.So go get some.
