It is very tough to ignore the physiological and psychological effects of drug abuse. It is also difficult to ignore the way it can affect the family, friends, peers, or teachers of those who abuse.
For those of you that know me well enough, my interest in this piece will not suprise you. However, for those that do not know me, I do a lot of reading and research on the affects drugs have on people. I do everything that I can as a health education teacher to make the middle years students of Cupar School aware of the negative effects of drug abuse.
Why? I think it is just something that I feel very strongly about. Ever since I was 15 or 16 and saw other teens using drugs, I have always taken some kind of stance against them. Most people always felt I judged them for their choices, but I honestly tried not to. I respect people for the choices they make and even if I do not agree I realize it is their own personal decision.
