Maybe a little typical teenage mentality there aswel, being told not to do something so then going out and doing exactly what we where told not to.
Maybe if me and my friends at 15 had a proper drugs education sat with a real life addict like Roscco things would be a lot different for some of my mates.
Roscco
You speak the truth,
If i'd been told the real ins and outs of substance abuse, i 'might' have thought twice. All i was told was "its addictive, don't do it".
As a teenager who smoked, and could stop, my thought of addiction was kinda limited. Nothing to be scared about. NO ONE let slip the side effects, like stealing/robbing/mugging.......jail time.......no family.....
Looking back, not clever by any strech of the imagination. If i ever meet the person who designed the Drug Education for kids, i'll give them a swift kicking, Junky style
