Do you know about D.A.R.E.? D.A.R.E. is a program to help kids make good choices in life. My class does it we also learned facts about alcohol, and smoking. For example I learned in D.A.R.E. that alcohol causes brain damage and smoking causes lung cancer. If I have a strong urge to smoke I chew some gum. If I have a strong urge to drink I drink something other than alcohol.
Alcohol causes many things. Kidney damage, brain damage, and it can be addictive. Alcohol is like a poison that can destroy many lives. It makes people do wrong choices. And people when they are drunk, their appearance changes. They may look like their eyes go down a little, they smile very weirdly, and they are completely unaware of what they do.
Smoking is wrong. Cigarettes have 200 known poisons in them and smoking can cause heart disease and lung cancer. Sure, you don’t get those diseases yet; but, you will if you smoke a lot. If someone smokes a little bit they will get addicted to it and it is really hard to stop. Smoking can change your appearance by having yellow teeth, yellow fingers, and giving you bad smelling clothes and hair.
If someone walks up to you and offers you a beer what would you say? Well guess what, you always have the choice to say no. If you don’t have any choices that come to mind always know you have D.A.R.E. knowledge.
