According to my resource page of Drug Use In High School its states “The consequence of addition in include brain abnormalities,slowed thinking and impaired learning and memory lost”. My older brother Francisco Hernandez experience with drug use in high school in his freshman year and what got him in drugs use was because of his friends were pressuring him to do it and told him to stop being such a girl but in other rude words. So he smoke pot with friends that day and ever since that he 's been ditching school and been taking drugs and goes smoking with his suppos friends and comes home at ten of the night looking weary and goes to his room and locks his bedroom door while my mother was sound of sleep and our father working and I in the living. My parents didn 't really notice him doing drugs and ditching until it was half his freshman year when the principal wanted a meeting with my parent telling them that he has to go to chavez because he was not only cough with weed on him but his grades are all F’s. He was able to graduate high school somehow his senior year he put effort his last year but now he all screw up with his mind. For examples he forgets literally anything anyone tells him and he forget what he supposed to do, forgets to lock the door of his car and the door of the house and became more rude and being hurtful with his words. Which I blame the drugs for this because those drugs he 's been taking his freshman year to his junior and maybe even now has damage his brain and does not function the same way as it use to and he 's not the same older brother as I

All that most people see here is numbers. I should know, I’ve seen them before. As a high school student, I have seen my fair share of drug abuse awareness assemblies, drug-free red ribbon weeks, those little papers you sign in middle school on which you “promise” never to take drugs or drink alcohol, health classes, and tv commercials. I’ve seen it all, but I’ve also seen kids who saw all those things alongside me and signed that little paper pledging to be drug-free, fall in the same hole that thousands of other kids and adults do.

I think that drug testing is a very important thing, and now society, some people will use the curiosity of young people on the novelty of goods in the drug trade on campus, many people who do not know often eat. To prevent this from happening, every school should carry out drug-related propaganda to enhance students ' awareness of drugs. But the search for students and property, I feel too compulsive, "since the school officials responsible for the well-being of students in their building, they have the right to search for drugs or weapons at any time," this argument is like the students A serious breach of

In order to help combat the rising drug problem in America, schools are having to make the choice of whether to use drug dogs or not. Schools have the choice of bringing drug sniffing dogs into the building in order to find and confiscate drugs that are in the possession of its students. I believe that the dogs should not be used until a problem has been confirmed or there is reasonable suspicion and severe action is warranted. Using drug dogs to sniff out drugs is a relatively new practice that started about 24 years ago (Robinson) and can be quite controversial. Using drug dogs is still relatively new because schools are trying to combat the rising drug problems that the United States has been facing.
