Drug Addiction:

An Epidemic


By Jenna Trilli


Drug addiction is a huge epidemic not only in America but around the entire world. Around 570,000 people die annually in the United States due to drug use. Everyone is affected by drugs in some way. Whether they directly affect you or not, there will always be people that you know who are affected. Sadly, a lot of our community and its people are impacted by drugs. Many people are pressured into drugs and it is very easy to get addicted. Trying drugs once does not mean you will not do them again. At the end of the day it’s your body, it’s your choice, remember to make good decisions for yourself.
