Many people don't understand the pressure that is faced by a 15 year old. People think that they have their whole lives ahead of them. They have college to look forward to, a decent job, getting married, having kids, but what many people don't understand is the power of peer pressure, they think that every 15 year old should have the willpower to say no to drugs. Some of us do, and some of us don't. At my school, kids show up with drugs, and alcohol hidden in their bag. If you went into any high school when kids are present, I can guarantee you that you can smell weed. The stench is on childrens clothes. They smoke it before school so that way school flies by. The teachers aren't stupid, they know that the kids are smoking weed, they smell it in their classroom. They can't tell anybody though, because they could get fired if the kid hires a lawyer. Why is this like this? The kids have access to a lot of money and they also have access to drugs from older siblings. How do I tie into this? I have never drank a drop of alcohol and have never done drugs, I know that means that I'm 1 out of the millions of people at my school who hasn't done drugs. Everybody at my school does it. Maybe you might be thinking that I wasn't offered any drugs because I don't have any friends, that is also not true. I play sports and while I was at practice a kid walked up to me with a bag of weed in his hand and he handed it to me. I asked him what he was doing, he said thank you for being a good friend, here is a bag of weed. I instantly told him that I didn't want it, I do not do drugs. He told me to just give it to someone. The kids that were around me at practice realized that this kid was giving away free drugs and they kept begging me for it. I told them that it wasn't mine and I wasn't going to take it. Then the kid giving me the drugs decided to keep it which angered a lot of people. They all started to get mad at me because I wouldn't take the drugs. Now most of them don't even talk to me. Almost all of the kids in my school do drugs, it is very rare to find people that don't do it. So people wonder why there is so much pressure for a 15 year old, drugs are a huge part of it. This isn't going to stop, it is just going to get worse. Now you've heard my opinion on the pressures a 15 year old faces with drugs, I want to hear yours, please comment your opinions!
