How Harsh Can Life Be?

Life: Difficult at times, that come with conscquences, hilarious at moments.
Friends: Amazing, but also the ones who put you under pressure, that come with even worse conscquences.

This is were the harshness comes in. The friends in your life decide to experiment, and put you under pressure to do drugs, smoke, or drink. Now, yeah, it looks so easy to say no. Somehow, for us kids, were scared to lose our friends. It seems like it would make more sense to lose your friends instead of your brain, right? But wouldn't you think a true friend wouldn't put you under such pressure. Oddly, most friends do. I think this is a serious problem in my friend's, well used to be friends's, lifes. Most people I talk to expect they have to smoke or drink. Now that I think of how people are living under the influence, I realize more people have been choosing bad choses when comes to drugs ever since they stopped playing the commercials saying "live above the influence." I am scared for the people around me that have potential to be a truly smart person, but ruin their brains from drugs. I really think we should start a petition or something to have TV to put back on the "Live above the Influence" commercials. I'm hoping it will help our world be healthier and choose better choses. Please try to help me with this cause.
