 LI: To structure and write an explanation

Why is it important to make wise choices?

Have you ever thought about taking drugs or drinking alcohol or has someone ever forced you or wanted

you to do it?  Some of the major reasons people take drugs is to try to fit in or to feel cool or they go through

peer pressure and end up using drugs, Peer pressure, being pressured by a friend or peer to do something that

you know that is unwise and can have a bad impact on you.

People who take drugs such as Crack, Weed, or  Cocaine use it to feel happy or as a stress reliever to help

forget about something bad that they have experienced but sadly the effects of these drugs do not last very

long so as a result people become addicted and are focused on getting more to feed there hunger in other

words drugs become there number one priority. When people get addicted they will do anything to feed

there hunger. They are tempted to steal money if they run out of it or they will work for people and in return

they get what they want but the consequences are not ideal.

Making a wrong decision doesn't necessarily mean that you are a bad person but is about who you should

start focus on becoming. Taking drugs can also affect your mindset/ way you think can lead to depression

or start to feel anxiety but if younger pupils start to take drugs the side effects could be more harmful the

addiction could be enhanced or feel stronger but younger pupils can also say no and can try avoid these

unwise choices knowing the bad impacts that they can have on there mental and physical health.
