I think that exhaling or blowing out a big breath and counting to ten helps. I try to put myself in the other persons shoes and I say to myself, "I wonder if they're angry because maybe I said it to them wrong...I'll try to say it differently, so maybe they'll understand what I'm trying to say". Sometimes if my parents get upset I wait until later when they are calmer and then ask them can I talk to them about it and usually this works with them or anyone!

Do you think that any of these ideas would work for you or anyone else?

I agree with you! Drugs can affect not just your brain but your heart too. There are people that try to "make you believe" that it's just good fun and it'll make you cool...but that's just a lie. I think most people that do drugs have very low self-esteem or just don't feel that they can overcome obstacles. Everyone has days that they don't feel very excited or special but all the other days can be great ones. Sometimes people just need a little nudge/push in the right direction.

Do you agree and why?

We can have more activites like having kids get together at a place to talk about what they do to keep themselves busy and to control themselves in certain situations. They can teach each other about things they are interested in.

you can stay drug free by watching out who you hang with because some people will say "drugs are good" but they're NOT! drugs kill your brain functions and can cause serious effects on your body, your relationships and psychological health. So SAY NO TO DRUGS!!
