Swiss Cheese Anyone?
If someone was to ask you, “Hey, man you want a piece of Swiss
cheese?” What would your answer be? There are many people
who can not answer that question after using drugs from peers, because
their brain, due to drugs and drinking, resemble a piece of Swiss cheese.
Many cannot speak, function, or pursue their long life dream due to the
awful influence of what they thought would be fun. Peer pressure plays
a large role in this. Your friend wants to have a good time, a boyfriend
has other intentions of a good time, and your life dream can change in a
minute due to drugs. It all begins simple, then ends in disaster, with a
brain that does not function and looks like a piece of Swiss cheese.
“Oh, try this,” he says,” it will not hurt you!” “You will feel good all
over.” So, you give in. Closely you stand as close to the school wall as
you can, not to let anyone behind you… you are scared. Your thinking
is distorted, you are paranoid that others know that you are loaded to the
gills. You stumble, you fall, you are out. You wake up in the hospital,
tubes and lines going everywhere, but only for a split second, to
recognize your little brother. You cannot speak, reach out for him.
or tell him “Hey, champ.” That is the last thing you remember. That is
just one of the many scenes that you see after a “good time”. What about
function of your body that you have always had control of?
Well, it is nearly time for your date to arrive. You anxiously wait.
He is so cute, plays football, smart and every girl in school is jealous of
you. He arrives and comes to the door, you kiss your family bye and tell
them that you love them, not knowing that this is the last time they will
see you at home. He is nice, he opens the door and you two drive off.
