Why kids use drugs

   Why kids use drugs

Why is it that kids are addicted to drugs? A lot of kids in many societies are addicted to doing drugs.Some kids love and will continue doing drugs when they are older.There are many types of different drugs that kids use.Like marijuana and cocaine.This drug use is affecting their bodies, their minds, and ruining their lives.

I believe drug abuse should stop because it’s dangerous to children’s minds, Dangerous to their bodies, and ruining their lives.

Poisoning a young developing mind is never a good thing

Furthermore, drug abuse is affecting their minds.They will not know how to make good decisions and won’t have a good job.

Dangerous to young bodies and messes up it’s mind

In addition, drug affects the lungs in your body and you would feel very weak and not wanting to do nothing at all.

Also, drug diseases affect what you're doing for a job.It will affect your life forever and you're brain will be totally ruinned.

I want kids to be in a better place and think about what they’re doing before they do it.

Finally, kids should think what they want when they are older.But with drugs in the way they won’t achieve and get what they want.Just imagine a world you're living in that drugs are free and could do any drugs when you want.

My first softball lesson

Room 10 had a warm up of a game called traffic lights.If she said green light you go but if she said yellow light then you walk and red light means stop.The point was getting to the other side without getting caught.If you did get caught you’re out and have to start from where you started.Then we practised throwing the ball to your team mate.Lisiate and I found it easy and it was.Then we had a competition to see how many you could throw to each other without dropping the ball.We threw 218 to each other.We came second because another team threw 232.But the point was to see if you could catch and throw.I can’t wait till our next lesson.

My Holiday

In the school holidays I watched a lot of Rugby League games.It was boring but interesting at the same time.But most days I played touch in the backyard with my 3 brothers.My team always win because we play good and work as a play.We played like it was real.Then had a little game of basketball and we lost.It was hilarous.My brother Justin play’s hard and ruff like a bull charging at something.

The first week of the holidays was awesome because everyday I went to Glen Taylor School and played kicks on the T.Our target was to get it over the goal post.Sometimes we got it, and other times we missed.Then I watched Fast and Furious 6 on my friends netbook.I laughed so much because it was funny and other times was boring.Then I went back to work.On thursday I went to the movies to watch despicable me 2.That was very funny.I ate most of the popcorn and drinks.Then after that movie I watched Monsters University.That movie was pretty scary.

The second week of the holidays was boring that I did nothing but just watched television.I watched Meerkat Manor, Finding Bigfoot, and deadliest catch.Far out on deadliest catch The crew caught a big tuna that weighed 2456 lbs.And you would get 60 dollars for each lbs.They made a lot of money.On Meerkat Manor There was a territory where the family called skales lived and one day They went out and left the three babies and one meerkat behind to look after their territory.But another family of meerkats saw it and ran to it to make it their home.They digged to see if there was food.Then a meerkat from another territory went underground and saw the babies.Then with a quick flash the other meerkat jumped out in fear and scratched the meerkats face and it ran away.The scales family was on the way back and saw what was going on.Then they all ran as fast as they could and went to war with the other family.They beat them and claimed their territory back.But when they went to look underground there was no sign of the meerkat just the 3 babies.Then they found him badly hurt but still alive.On finding bigfoot they had a meeting and people saw bigfoot and they were so scared and afraid.One person said that bigfoot was crouching down on his deck and when he saw it he was scared and terrified.Then another person said she was driving in her car and saw bigfoot for 4 seconds and then he ran out of sight.At nightime they went out into the woods to see or hear for bigfoot.The team wacked a tree with a stick to see if they wood get any comebacks.There was one but it was just a deer.Then they hopped in a canoe to see if bigfoot was on the seashore.But they saw nothing but just sticks and sand.Then they went back and then it was finished.
