I will say no to drugs and alcohol because they can ruin your whole life. They will make you lose your job or even get you thrown into jail and possibly even killed. Here are some other reasons I won’t be doing these bad things. If you get caught with drugs or alcohol you can get into serious trouble. From a very young age I was told not to take drugs or drink alcohol mostly because my dad is a police officer and also because they could cause you great physical and mental harm. My dad has told me a number of times that he has dealt with kids in high school that have taken drugs and drank alcohol. They would be suspended from school or maybe even expelled and they will also not only get expelled or suspended but put in jail I feel that is fair punishment. Schools are suppose to be safe and drug free .If you get kicked out of school because of drugs and alcohol you won’t be able to get a good job and be successful.. Some jobs won’t hire you if you have a criminal background like that. Even at an older age drugs and alcohol can be very dangerous. If you get caught drinking and driving you will face serious charges and pay several fines .If you drink and drive and swerve off the road you could seriously hurt or kill somebody or you could seriously be hurt or killed. Drugs can do the same things to you and harm your health. If you get caught with drugs you will go to jail. Another reason I will not take drugs or alcohol is because there is a possibility you could go to jail and I don’t want to go to jail because jail is a bad place. If you are trying to find a job and have a criminal record most companies will not hire you because of your criminal background. They will think you are not the right person to be working there. I think any punishment given is fair even if they go to jail for a while or even a huge fine I think the people who do these bad things should get severally punished. This is definitely a benefit because you will be get dangerous people out of your community and that’s why I bring up this concern.
