April's Story
I would like to tell you about something that happened to me while under the influence of alcohol and weed One day my boyfriend and some friends were at the park chillin'. After smoking some weed and drinking some alcohol, we were walking home when we ran into some boys in a "so called" gang. My little click was talking a little too loud and they thought we were talking to them. They started in with us. My boyfriend was high and his temper was short that night. Everybody was in each other's face arguing. My boyfriend had his sword with him. The other boys saw it, so one of ran to get some other weapons. We always have to watch our backs now.

My friends and I are in danger because we did something stupid while under the influence. We could get killed because we were doing drugs and alcohol and acting stupid. Now, that's how I lived most of my life. Drugs can make your life worse than you know. Don't be stupid like I was!
