Drugs and Friends When I was a teenager, one of my best friends began taking drugs. At first I did not know about it but one day I realized what my friend was doing and I felt really sad. He told me he did not do it often but I knew the problem would get worse if I did not act. It is very hard to try to convince someone not to take drugs and sometimes he thinks you are not his friend anymore and you do not want to help him. Nevertheless, I was talking and discussing with him every time he took drugs, even if he got angry. I did not care keep talking with him at home instead of go out to a party because I knew I was helping him. We used to go to the mountain as another way to keep him far of drugs. The process was long and many times very difficult but eventually I manage to convince him to stop taking drugs. After that, our relationship become stronger and we will never forget those days when we talked over midnight.
