What I Have Learned

Being here in blogging has been a very good experience because it has taught me that a lot of children have been doing drugs and I would like to stop it. I hope that we have blogging again in the year 2009, start some broadcasting in the new year, and also for grade 8 to be more involved. Hopefully we will have more people in our blogging classes next year! What I have learned these past eight weeks is that millions of teens are doing drugs and getting in their parents medicine cabinets and taking their prescription drugs. I would like to change that teenagers that are doing drugs and that is what I have been working on for the good eight weeks I have been here and it is a wonderful after school program I look forward to coming next year. Blogging has helped me by teaching me that it is not good to do drugs.We have gone to the soup kitchen and that was a great experience we had cleaned dishes and served all the people some were homeless and some were just did not had the money to get food for their families.

My last blog

Taino

The topic I chose for blogging is prescription drug abuse among teens. What I wanted to learn is how many people used it. I found out much more than that, like how many people used the drugs, who they got it from, and who told them about the prescription drugs. What I remember most is how many people used the prescription drug: 2.4 million teens used drugs in 2006.

But by joining the blogging class I learned how to do a lot of new things like learning how to blog and how to use a computer better. I got a chance to meet a person named Ami Dar who started idealist.org. He came from another country to the Unites States and made that program to help people in need. In blogging class I think we could do is get other schools in the area involved in blogging because it is fun, they will learn, and they could help people in need.

Sad fact about teenagers prescription drug abuse

In 2007 about 2.5 million new teen drug abusers. Half of these teenagers die from drug abuse and it is a horrible thing to see. It makes me sad and want to do something about it. I would like to find a way to talk to teenagers to tell them that it is a waste of their time to do prescription drugs. I would start a program that allow them to focus on better things like start clubs and also book clubs about to stop prescription drug abuse.

I want teenagers to understand that their life is worth more than they think that they can stop using prescription drugs and talk it over with professionals that work with teenagers with that problem.

Educating people on prescription drugs

I want the world to be aware that people are dying because the do not read the labels and over dose when they need it to work faster and sometimes want to get high on the drugs. My friend has a personal experience. Her friend killed her self when she took some else's prescription drugs and was only 17 years old. I want to how many people die a year and why do they over dose on the prescription drugs.

Welcome to Our Blog.

I chose this topic because a lot of people are dying from prescription drugs and I would like to stop people from doing it. I have been through it; my friend had died from abusing prescription drugs. She was 17 and it was a horrible experience. When I got the call I was 13 years old and very sad. When I found out she had died, it was very upsetting for me. I would like to learn why people use drugs.
