The young mantra !!

It’s not a big deal !

I love exploring the unexplored; I wish to do something different. I know it is dangerous, they say do not touch. Let me try and well it is not a big deal. May be I can do it !! These are some of the statements one gets to listens when one kick starts smoking, drinking or that matter using drugs. All of us know that these are bad but our urge to explore and proving ourselves as different, pressure of peers inclines us towards these so called poisons. They actually poison our health, and have long lasting effect on it. These are addictive, expensive; many a times even illegal too.

But lets us remember, it is our choice whether to take them or not. No one can force you if you do not want. It is just working with your urge, managing a question of big deal. Many of us say given a chance we can handle the responsibility, well, here is our chance! We need to take our onus on ourself and do it. Let us say it is not a big deal and stop using them or support others to get over it, off course without being judgmental. Family and friends are a great support. Say big NO to drugs.
