D.AR.E. Essay
  

          In D.A.R.E or Drug.Abuse.Resistance.Education we learned about 
Peer Pressure, Stress and Risk, and Two types of drugs. I will cover them.

          First is Peer Pressure. Pure Pressure is when you are pressured to do something like if tell if your friend steals. But if you tell you would lose your friend. So you would need to choose between friends or getting in trouble for knowing, and only you can put pure pressure on yourself.

          Next is Stress and Risk . When you are stress you usually feel frustration, tense, hot, and or sweaty. You also start acting differently like you would lose your temper, yell, become suddenly quiet. Usually people scream into a pillow or punch a pillow to relieve stress but relax and do something you enjoy. Risk is taking a chance. Risk sometimes causes stress. Risk has consequences it can be good or bad. A good risk is like studying so you get a good or the best grade and maybe a reward. A bad risk is not studying and you could get your worst grade and most likely summer school.

          Finally, two types of Drugs. Alcohol and tobacco. I think these are the most dangerous because they are the most commonly used drugs. Alcohol is like sugar. It makes your heart beat faster like running but running makes your heart stronger, while alcohol makes your heart weaker. Over 75,000 alcohol related death a year. Tobacco as well as over 200 chemicals in a cigarette, so five would be over 1000 chemicals. Over 400,000 people die from tobacco related deaths every year. Over 475,000 are tobacco and alcohol related deaths together.       

          I pledge to never smoke, drink, or use drugs of any type.
