The Price You Pay

As young children grow into young adulthood they must travel through a period of extreme danger; one that is best to just be avoided. The increasing occurrence of teenagers using various kinds of substance drugs has caused huge problems with the leaders of tomorrow. This has become an even bigger issue in just the past day because of a huge drug bust among nearly 100 college students. No longer do students focus on just one drug, but now they tend to use many different kinds so that they can feel ‘it’ more. More and more kids are getting involved in various drugs and they are beginning to do so at even younger ages; raising the health risks.

It is a shame to see so many teenagers spending all of their salaries on drugs and the purchases that they are required to make. All of a sudden a student has spent all of their graduation money buying drugs behind their parents’ backs. What a nice graduation present, huh? Just to think of all of the money that is spent yearly by the millions of people who chose to smoke marijuana or snort cocaine. Even with such drugs being illegal, people become so addicted to them that they cannot force themselves to stop, even after being either arrested or kept in jail.

Now we are investigating one of the largest drug busts in history and government officials are having the troubles choosing what to do with these convicts. There were 96 different people arrested in this case, with 75 of them being San Diego State college students. These people will always have to pay the price of their actions; choosing to not only use these drugs but also deal them. Such a drastic event will never leave them along in the future; the memory of their mistake will haunt them forever. This just goes to show that many students are hiding a lot from their family and friends.

There is so much sneaking around and lying involved in such a case. Authority figures have not been able to keep teenagers from getting involved in drugs, and I am not sure if they will ever be able to. With people dying from drug usage there has been a lot of controversy with punishment for getting caught with such substances. We need to preserve the young children today so they don’t grow up with high influences of different kinds of drugs. There is a huge need to do so, immediately. But for now the people who are already involved with always have to pay the price for their actions.
