Now that I am thinking back on my Freshmen and Sophomore years, I have a few tips I can tell you about some lessons I learned. My Freshmen year I went to a different school that I am currently going to now at the moment. One of the first obstacles I had was finding new friends because I knew nobody. I went to a private school majority of my education and going public I thought I was going to go insane. Being confident and finding new friends is the best way for all you incoming freshmen to enjoy high school. Put yourself out there and you will find some really nice people. I wish I knew some of my friends I have now before high school. It would of made my transition to the school a lot easier but not everything in your life is suppose to be easy now is it. Another important tip is do not let peer pressure get to you. If you are hanging out with your friends and they ask you to do something you are not comfortable with do not do it because it will make you cooler. This is something people think they have to do to so they can fit in with the popular people. And if that is the case, maybe you need to find some better finds that will guide you in the right direction and not the wrong one. But most of all, just have fun in high school. Stay focus on your education and keep your eyes on the prize.

This article is a very good example of how companies use drug commercials as a way to persuade people into getting prescriptions for prescription drugs. These ads consist of false claims about these drugs saying that if you take them you could cure your illness. Unfortunately, a lot of the drugs may help one thing but can lead to another problem which would need you to get more prescription drugs. The importance of the Prescription drug issue is to finally realize that we have a problem with companies false advertising these drugs so they can make a profit. If we do not try to stop this problem right this minute, our future generation could suffer even deeper than we are at the moment. In my opinion, prescription drugs are becoming more and more widely accessible which means anybody at any age can easily get their hands on these drugs. One you start taking these drugs you will continue to feel like you need to up your dosage because you feel more and more pain. It is the mind that is playing games on you. I hardly ever take any type of prescription drugs unless I really need it. It is scary seeing that documentary we watched in class and seeing how fast someones life can change because of prescription drugs. The fact people die everyday because of a drug overdose from prescription drugs is insane. They are pointless to me. You take them and then you feel better for a couple hours and then BOOM, the pain is back. The website was very straightforward when it came to showing how companies back in the 1800’s and still to this day, use false claims to get people to want to buy into prescription drugs. The information is not bias because they are the ones who can prove that companies take advantage of people so they can make a profit. They are the ones who can prove that people will get more and more addicted to prescription drugs. All in all, if nothing is done in the next few decades, the prescription drug epidemic will continue to increase and will get worse each and every year.
