Drugs seem to be a widespread problem in today's society, especially with teenagers. Many people I know have experimented with something. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who has never tried any sort of drug in my entire life.
It seems as though it has become a bigger problem, particularly in schools over the years. I recently read an article about a marijuana rally at a college campus which ended in students being arrested.
Students think that they can have drugs or use them during school, which is not OK.
Teenagers have been influenced by society and also their peers to do these things because it's cool.
Students should take responsibility for themselves and be able to make the right decisions instead of letting society or the people around them influence their choices. If they get caught up in the use of drugs and other harmful substances, it could affect them immensely.
Students do have the power to stop the usage of drugs in schools if they stand up and take control of their own decisions.
