Germany and the U.S: Not so different after all....

The teen drug abuse in Germany is about the same as the substance abuse found in the United States. Although Germany has had its ups and downs with drug usage, it has a shockingly high level of early smokers and is in the region that has the highest level of narcotics. Both the United States and Germany have put the stimulants taken as an illegal substance. However, in both countries those rules are broken daily and the age of the consumers gets younger. Both countries fear that the increasing number of teens who intake drugs will keep increasing and may even lower the standards of the country. In Germany, there has been recent report that cocaine is getting in the hands of these teenagers easily daily. Both the United states and Germany support the National Synthetic Drug Action Plan and try to find new ways to combat and tame drug abuse. It's a small world once you think about it because both the teenagers in the United States and in Germany do drugs simply to gain social status or to relieve stress.

Yanin's Notes

Wh@T ArE YOU on......

Many use drugs as a way to relieve stress or to get "away" from a problem that is too difficult  for them to face. The drugs are used a leisure and once consumed mark the beginning of a major addiction.

Others use drugs to gain social status and want to show people that they live by motto's that are mentioned on songs or by close friends. They take the "You Only Live Once" motto to the fullest extent with out realizing how true that fact happens to be. 

Why did I choose my topic....

I chose the topic of drugs for this project because it has been one of the longest known issues teenagers face everyday. Not only do teenagers get sucked into drug abuse, adults do as well.There are many campaigns and programs to share awareness and to help those in drug abuse. Everyday a new substance is discovered that lead to hallucinations, and the "high" affect. Not only does it mess with your social status, but drugs do cause a greater affect in your health. The use of everyday chemicals or legal and illegal drugs can lead to blood thinning or thickening which may lead to a heart attack or stroke. Also, the lost of precious brain neurons, which lead to forgetting many things, absurd hallucinations, and even death. This is why I decided to research and find solutions to drugs and how they are used and abused.
