You really don't get the influences one has unless you walk that life. Peer pressure at a young age. The disease that is addiction.

Saying it's easy to "not do drugs" - that's such a main character ass take. Not everyone walks through life like you do. Have some empathy and listen to someone else's struggle. Be better.
Awesome I guess. I didn't realize all poor people do drugs because of surroundings and peer pressure. Good on him for working his way out of it.
