Hmm… is that campaign really effective? I mean, how is it supposed to work? If I give my kid more hugs then he shouldn”t turn to drugs? I guess that may be true. Sometimes it”s just in their future no matter how well they are raised. I was raised pretty okay for being abused to an extent and whatnot. Some of it had nothing to do with my family, but I ended up smoking marijuana and drinking myself to sleep. Yes me, a nearly straight A Honor Society Student who graduated with honors and even skipped a grade as a child. It wasn”t the pressure of trying to stay on the straight and narrow. It wasn”t about the peer pressure. I wanted to do it so I did. I got depressed. I didn”t know that I could be bipolar then. I just knew I was deeply depressed. There were times when I thought about going to rehab. The guy I was going out with used Drug rehab as a way to keep me around. He would hit the heroin clinic for a week, then go right back to doing what he was doing. I was selling, he was using. Fun times *rolls eyes*. Seriously though… I had as many hugs as I needed growing up. I was loved and adored by most of my family members. So what is it that trips the wire? Who knows… there are a lot of things that are not in our control that will make it hard for a person to say no.
