TYPES OF DRUGS

Cocaine
Heroin
Mathadone
Marijuana
Hallucinogens
Amphetamines
Inhalants
Narcotics

Each types has its own used to people but in drug abusing each of the types has its own effects to the body, like being energetic, pleasurable, reduces hungerness, being awake, etc. These are the few reasons why many people became drug users or drug addicts but in exchange of the pleasures are the very deadly and curseful effects like the collapsing of the veins, liver and kidney diseases, bacterial infections of the blood and the worst is DEATH.
Drug abusing is very lethal, using it is a matter of risking a person's life, Genuinely speaking, for me drugs are so abundant, abundant that some of it may take a person's life but it is up to the people to use drugs wisely. It is a matter of knowledge, discpline, being optimistic to life, and fighting against drug abuse.

DRUGS AND DRUG ABUSE

Drugs helps a lot of people in curing sickness and other diseases but too much used or the wrong used of drugs may lead to addiction.
We are aware that selling of illegal drugs are prevalent, many young people used drugs for their satisfaction they don't know the risks behind the drug abusing. Also using too much drug the effect a person's mind cannot actively unaware of what he was doing. The effects are very lethal the brain, the heart rate and the whole body.
Drug abuse, also known as substance abuse, involves the repeated and excessive use of chemical substances to achieve a certain effect. These substances may be “street” or “illicit” drugs, illegal due to their high potential for addiction and abuse. They also may be drugs obtained with a prescription, used for pleasure rather than for medical reasons.
Different drugs have different effects. Some, such as cocaine or methamphetamine, may produce an intense “rush” and initial feelings of boundless energy. With time, the brain’s chemistry is actually altered to the point where not having the drug becomes extremely uncomfortable and even painful. This compelling urge to use, addiction, becomes more and more powerful, disrupting work, relationships, and health.

SCHIZOPHRENIA: A SEVERE MENTAL DISORDER

Schizophrenia, a severe mental disorder usually occurs when someone is experiencing; frustrations, depressions etc. Those are the few factors that can trigger a person's mind to break down. One of the symptoms of schizophrenia are hearing voices, creating imaginary characters, dillusions. It is like when a schizophrenic person enters into a crowded area he/she feels like the people there are watching him/her and talking about him/her although not.
It is a lifetime illness, the treatment goes to a long psychological test because the movie "Secret Window" the main character's simple response to the depression he has experiencing, it turned out that he became violent without his awareness, he just realize it though but too late. All the people, he knows that he was the victim but the people who were asked by him became the victims.
Genuinely speaking, it is dreadful but others should understand their situation because it is very difficult. They need help because being insensitive to their welfare may push their mind to its limit like Johnny Depp in Secret Window.
If you think you are bitten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win but you think you can
it's almost a cinch you won't
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

A.I.D.S

H.I.V or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the virus causes AIDS or Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome, it infects and destroys the cells of an individual. A person who is positive in HIV may experienced some high risks especially if a person is pregnant, the possibilities of transmission may occur. There are few individuals were interviewed about their cases.

Steve Kovacev has AIDS, in his case the virus is already spreading all over his body and the T-cells were destroy little by little as time goes by. The scientists made some drugs in order to stop or lessen the viruses that slowly destroying Steve's immune system. Although there are some alternatives that were prescribed for him, for Steve "tomorrow is not a promise" there's always a threat inside his body. But after a few years he is experiencing the medicine's side effects, because his body is not that good in responding to the medicines.

Lisa Howard was infected by the HIV virus from his ex- boyfriend, when she discovered it, she tried to live a normal life until she met her now husband David Howard, despite of her illness they continue to live a normal life. The AIDS is not in its terminal stage unlike to Steve, Lisa takes some medicine to control the spread of the virus. The couple was very thankful because none of their three daughters are infected thanks to the medicine that Lisa takes.

Experts say that the virus causing AIDS may be stop entering the T-cell through the GP-41 Protein that blocks the HIV virus to enter the cell now they are the developing this medicine. Also the voluunteers even the teachers from different schools and universities are educating the students about the high life risks and the danger in having an AIDS. Studies shows that the people mostly infected by the virus is from ages 13-20 in the United Staes, mostly the young ones it is a genuine observation, and the numbers of HIV positives in the U.S.A is almost 900,000 people.
