Teens Reasons Of Using Tobacco
One night, it was the end of grade 10 and my friend had invited me to a party to celebrate it being summer. I was unaware whos party it was until I realized it was one of my old friends boyfriends party at his house so I said what the heck and decided to go. My paernts allowed it as long as i wasn't in an environemnt with bad influences whcih I figured I wasn't. I have never been a party person, I don't drink, don't do drugs but I went with my close friends because I figured it would be fun. The night went on and I was having a lot of fun everything seemed to be going fine until it got a bit later and students from older grades started to come that nobody knew nor were they invited. My friends and I stayed regardless but that might have been the wrong desicion. On of my friends left our group and had to go the washroom so he put his cup down and went and we learned that was also a bad idea. We found out the boyfriend of my friend, whos party it was, put alcohol in his drink. My friend came back and he drank it but about 20 minutes later was very drunk and he reacted to it immensly. He started doing things he never would have done if he was sober, running around and into walls, breaking things, etc.. It came to a point where he started hanging out with the older students at the party where he was offered drugs.
We found our friend with them and right away smelt drugs and marijuana and we had to try and get our friend out of the situation he was in because we knew the trouble he'd be in and how he'd regret it. I started to get worried about him and how the party might have been a bad idea to begin with but we were all getting stressed and could only imagine the punishment his parents would give him. Our own friend and the older guys he was with started to offer us cigarettes; they were telling us to relax and take one, to stop worrying that he will be fine by tomorrow morning. They continued to pressure us into trying it which was where one of my friends; she gave in and take one. We didn't understand why when she knew the consequences and effects of taking it. She figured she'd appear as cooler to the older teenagers but I knew it really wasn't. My friends and I had to remove oursleves from this situation and party knowing it had drugs present. We passively said yes to do no harm to us due to them being also drunk, walked away and I decided to call his parents because we didn't want to put ourselves in a worse position.
There were psoitives and negatives of this desicion... The negatives were that our friend is now put in a place where he will have to deal with the consequences his parents give him. Also, we are shown to have been part of a bad environement with drugs and alochol even though we explained we didnt intend on that. Neatively this could impact us socially by leaving the party early due to the situation. The positives were that we escaped the situation with no effects on us especailly to our health. Also, a positive of this choice is we didn't have o deal any longer with the peer pressure of anyone trying to influence us to do anything we weren't comfortable doing. I overcame this obstacle in a path to a tobacco/marijuana free lifestyle by abstaining and getting out of the spot I was in by making a good desicion based on my previous knowledge.
Five positives overall based on my desicion was I helped my friend not end up in a worse problem then it already was. I followed my own thoughts and didnt take anything from anyone. We got home safe from an adult we trusted that was sober and under no impression of drug use. I didn't fall into peer pressure of any kind. I was resposible and made the desicion of leaving party not worrying socially about anything but more concerned of my health and safety. I made the desicions of got out of a scenerio leading a marijuana/tobacco free lifestyle.
Teens Even Exposed To Tobacco On School Grounds...
#1 - Do you feel Ancaster High in
general is a population that has taken a positive stand with regard to
choices relating to marijuana? Do many use?
I think Ancaster High School overall has taken a positive stand of relations regarding marijuana. Ancaster has
shown the consequences, stated the results of doing it, and even possibly what the charges might be. Under no circumstances
does the school influence the use of marijuana but it does showcase to anyone who does use them, what the aftermath effects could
be so teens understand (the posters outside office shwoig concerning consequences to be aware of). They do take positive views on which
provides a safe place to those who dont use drugs. I do not think many use, however I do think many use/abuse other everday drugs. Many teens
could be under the influnce of using marijuana but may not nescessary use a drug like that and possibly more accessible drugs. Regardless of not using marijuana or other drugs, it doesnt affect the positve take Ancaster High has on drug use.
#2 - If a grade 9 student fell in the "TRAP" of trying marijuana for the first time and became a regular user at school and at home, what issues would
he/she have to face over the next few years? Discuss three issues that may change his her life?
If a grade 9 student fell in the trap of trying marijuana and continuously used it, issues she'd have to face are social, mental, and physical issues overall. Struggling through high school can be hard enough for many teens, but when other problems occur it could make the matter worse. Firstly, socially their life would change because not only would you have to deal with the interpertation you're family has on you and what their thoughts are on it, but what changes occur in your friends and social groups. Not all friends want to be involved with those under bad impressions which can definitely impact the next few years. Secondly, this can be affected mentally. Marijuana can effect you decisions and thoughts which can lead to change in education. When being under the high & feeling of marijuana, you aren't mentally in reality and dont always act yourself. This is when you can end up skipping classes, failing classes, not doing work, etc. Mentally your life would negatively be impact especailly for
the future decisions over the next few years. Lastly, physically your health will change in the short term or even long term. From the use of marijuana there are health
impacts which leave your mind and body in dangerous ways that majorly change you physically over the next few years of high school.
#3 - How has the Gr. 9 student been prepared (Elementary School) to battle the pressure of marijuana? What are the most important
concepts learned in Gr. 8?
Grade 9's are prepared for to battle the pressure of marijuana in grade 8. They are told about the social aspect of it and how friends change and how
we are part of a much different environment in high school and we should understand what goes on. We are prepared by going through many
health units that which explain concerns we should be aware of. We learn the effcts of drugs on mnay different factors, etc.. The most
important cocepts learned are obviosuly the main key before anything; ABSTAIN. By abstaining under all circumstances you're
eliminating any dangers due to not being involved in any way with drugs like marijuana. Another main concept is is
responsibility of actions. If you monitor what you choose to do with you're life and do what you think is right by
sticking with the right crownd, not being a follower, making your own desicion you're likely to be able to
cope with the pressure of marijuana. Another concept if worst comes to worse we are taught,
is if you do fall into using drugs, be sure to know the effects and how to handle
them if you end up being in that position.
