What You Need to Know about Drugs
Drugs are chemicals that change the way a persons body works. You have probably
heard that drugs are bad for you, but what does that mean and why are they bad? If you have
ever been sick and had to take medicine, you already know about one kind of drugs. Medicines
are legal drugs, meaning doctors are allowed to prescribe them for patients, stores can sell them,
and people are allowed to buy them. But it is not legal, or safe, for people to use these medicines
any way they want or to buy them from people who are selling them illegally.
When people talk about the drug problem, they usually mean abusing legal drugs or
using illegal drugs, such as marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, crystal meth and heroin. Illegal
drugs can damage the brain, heart, and other important organs. Cocaine, for instance, can cause a
heart attack. While using drugs, a person is also less able to do well in school, sports, and other
activities. It is often harder to think clearly and make good decisions. People can do dumb or
dangerous things that could hurt themselves - or other people - when they use drugs. Sometimes
people try drugs to fit in with a group of friends. Or they might be curious or just bored. A person
may use illegal drugs for many reasons, but often because they help the person escape from
reality for a while. If a person is sad or upset, a drug can - temporarily - make the person feel
better or forget about problems. But this escape lasts only until the drug wears off.
Drugs do not solve problems, of course. And using drugs often causes other problems on
top of the problems the person had in the first place. A person who uses drugs can become
dependent on them, or addicted. This means that the persons body becomes so accustomed to
having this drug that he or she cannot function well without it. Once a person is addicted, it is
very hard to stop taking drugs. Stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms, such as vomiting
(throwing up), sweating, and tremors (shaking). These sick feelings continue until the persons
body gets adjusted to being drug free again. If someone is using drugs, you might notice changes
in how the person looks or acts. Here are some of those signs. A person using drugs may:
1. lose interest in school
2. change friends (to hang out with those who use drugs)
3. become moody, negative, cranky, or worried all the time
4. ask to be left alone a lot
5. have trouble concentrating
6. sleep a lot (maybe even in class)
7. get in fights
8. have red or puffy eyes
9. lose or gain weight
10. cough a lot
11. have a runny nose all of the time

Discussion
Should Students Take Part Time Jobs?

Working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use
some foresight. However, youd better think a hundred times before you decide to take a part
time job. There are a lot of things that should be factored in on the decision to take a part time
job. On the negative side, working and still maintaining a good grade at school is not an easy
task. Having less time for schoolwork becomes the main negative effect. Consequently, many
students who work part time fail to perform at their best both on schoolwork and on
examinations
Moreover, a part- time job can really interfere with the students free time. It also cuts
into their studies and/or social life. On the positive side of things, a part time job helps students
to support day to day living expenses. Working can be a valuable part of a students life, if taken
on responsibly. Students can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just
money. In most cases, they can acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills
and experiences. Another benefit of part- time work is the opportunity to expand the resume.
Ideally, a student should try to find a job that is related in some way to his/her selected field of
study.
But even not, a student can still gain some work experience and develop skills. Working
takes a lot of time and energy, so students need to make sure to be able to handle both
employment and their current commitments. Finally, if you are considering working part time,
talk to your school counselor to discuss this move. Simply explain your goals to someone else
can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities.
