Please never try drugs even for a second, never smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol! That is a terrible decision that just bring a lot of regrets! It is bad for the body, bad for the mind and for the soul !
Sometimes the young people make a lot of mistakes in following their friends, they want to be cool, they want to be feel accepted by their friends, they hate to be rejected by their friends..and they don't want their friends to think they are conservative and/or religious. And that is how they get trapped by bad choices! These bad choices can destroy their lives and any relationship they might have.What stupid idea is to follow bad company!
Even when cigarettes and alcohol is legal, they are not good. Not everything that is legal is good. Even that someday in the future the drugs might become legal, they are horrible thing to do, even for a try. There is no good reason that might justify to start to use drugs, depression, sadness, sense of lost in life, lost of job or boyfriend, even lost of parents, anger before any situation in life. Nothing can justify. And nothing can take away any emptiness or unhappiness that might have. When they start to use drugs, they feel even more unhappy and useless in this life!
The solution for emptiness and depression is to trust and love Jesus Christ. Also be involved in a good Catholic parish, volunteer at your parish and you will never feel lonely, depresses and useless. To go to psychiatric or psychologist for counseling does not help! They will put you on meds, and they counseling does not do anything. The best counselor, believe me or not, it is a Catholic priest. And it is free of charge and free of any medication. Find a very good Catholic priest for counseling and spiritual direction in your life, open your heart to him, do not be afraid, he will help you and your heart and soul will be glad. You`ll have peace in your life.
May God bless your steps, towards salvation !
