Drugs

There are lots of reasons why people take drugs.

Some people try drugs because friends are doing it or to look popular in front of people.

Some people think drugs can help them forget about feeling sad or hopeless, problems at home or problems at school.

And some people may like the thought of doing something dangerous or illegal.

Sometimes people are forced to take drugs or are put under pressure to take drugs as a dare.
