Many times it becomes hard for people to support a friend who is most in need. So many high school students become involved in drugs and a lot of it has to do with them not having the right group of friends.

I have seen too many close friends follow the wrong path. Doing drugs, drinking and driving, and being flat-out stupid and careless with their lives. No one should have to go through life alone. Life is too hard to try and support yourself without help.

Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on and someone to confide in. Without being able to outsource those emotions of anger or frustration many teens become easily depressed and lonely.

As high school students we shouldn’t feel alone or pressured. High school is a time to be surrounded by close friends and fun.

Everyone knows a person who has taken the wrong road so take the initiative to get them back on track. 18 is too young to ruin a life, keep on keeping on everybody.
