well…That when our body’s go out of control needing pills, if you start taking something your body might think you need more, and you start taking more…it can be come an addiction and end up hurting your self…someone in my family does this to them selves a lot. when the body takes over the mind and starts going crazy pretty much. we think we need it but we don’t. and if you do it too much you could kill your self. like taking to many sleeping pills. its not good. and sadly drug abuse is more common then you know. and about every age group has, or is doing it. like teens, and if they start they might drag their friends in too. it doesn’t matter who you are, if you are a responsible strong person, you can still be dragged down by drug abuse, kind alike that Carmichael where you see the kid on the street looking pretty much dead, and a girl buying drugs saying “Don’t worry..I won’t end up like that guy” and she does. it doesn’t matter because the body takes over mind. and taking to much can drive you crazy.

ha ha, wow I wrote a lot there, I hope this helps,
and I hope you do a great job, when writing stuff like this its for once easy to get carried away talking about. Good luck :]
