Ive completely ignored this blog and missed a lot of classes at college. I’ve slacked off really bad! and need to get back on top of things!. SO NO MORE BLUDGING.
First things first. My community project idea, after researching into youth and drug abuse organizations i find myself caught up in thinking of ways to better the organizations i researched.
So firstly i narrowed my topic down to drugs and found that this was a too broad subject for such a project. And landed on one illicit drug, ECSTASY.
From witnessing the effects of ecstasy i want to answer the question. What possesses my age group to do illicit drugs? Society doesn’t understand the full reasons and actions behind these young drug users from their perspectives. I’ve witnessed my friends use ecstasy and watch their personalities and mental health change. The reasons they told me for taking ecstasy were things like pure entertainment purposes, it’s a fun adrenaline rush, the illegal part behind it brings that bad cool side to life and in the end it was ’something to do.’ I was different i did’nt succumb to the peer pressure, even though i did smoke among my same line of friends.
To sum it up in a Vision Statement, the project would contain information about the young generation’s motives for using ecstasy.
I have to also remember that my project remains neutral on the topic of drug use, the project will neither promote or demote drug using. The main purpose of this project is to help today’s society understand young ecstasy using. My aim is that society will not generically make an opinion about young drug users without understanding how these young individual’s perspective.
