Drug and Alcohol use

Drug and Alcohol use
A lot of college and high school students use drugs and alcohol frequently, they do it to find a way to escape reality because it’s too hard for them. Some people see it as a serious problem like their life is threaten by that. I on the other hand down really see it as a problem. I don’t see it as a problem because first of all that person is only trying to have a nice and fun time. Secondly when someone is on drugs or have been drinking they get to lazy to do anything that’s criminalized. Last in my opinion it makes one focus more and be aware of what’s happening around them more.
Both college and high school students drink and use drugs because either they want to be social, right of passage, hook up, or their main reason is because everyone else is doing it. High school students show less disapproval of marijuana use and decreased perception that marijuana is dangerous. The growing perception of marijuana as a safe drug may reflect recent public discussions over medical marijuana and movements to legalize it. On the other hand the percentage of alcohol consumption by high school students are decreasing every year. Colleges students drink and smoke to loosen up during their first stage of college. They also do it because there’s always a party in college and there’s always alcohol and drugs at the party so they end up doing those things in order to really enjoy themselves.
College students that use drugs and alcohol in college most likely start getting lazy with homework and class work. The students start not caring about the homework they’re given to complete and they end up not doing. This type of thing leads to them getting low grades, GPA start to drop, and then eventually they get thrown out of the campus. This is a serious problem because that student just lost their money and time spent in the school. They’ll eventually become unsuccessful and start to live on the street with no sense of directions which lead to bad intentions. It really depends on controlling the alcohol and drugs in order for it to not be a serious problem in the students lifestyle.
The effects of drinking in college are somewhat good and somewhat bad. It can be good because it makes some people able to focus and do everything better. It’s also a bad thing because some people get lazy and start not to care about school. It depends on how the student is affected by the alcohol and drug consumption. So in a way its not a serious problem but it is at the same time, students react differently to those type of things. People just make it seem like its always a serious problem just because they do not like it.
