Drug Abuse

Drugs affect more than just the person taking them. When a person is under the influence of illegal drugs, they also heavily impact that persons family. I have known this for quite a while, and after watching this video my thoughts have been further confirmed. A drug user's family suffers as more money is spent on drugs instead of food, as well as more time is devoted to drugs rather than their children. No good can come for a child of a drug user. Along with the direct actions to the child, are the long term affects. A child of a drug user will not function as well as they could in school. The abuse they receive at home will transfer to school and will appear in their demeanor, appearance, social life, and behavior. Drugs only have the ability to ruin a person's life and often enough drugs ruin an entire family.
