Drug Abuse

Drug abuse in any form or substance is harmful to not only the person consuming, but those around who are watching it take place. While watching this video I felt the same as I have always felt when it comes to drug use, disgusting and harmful. Children of drug users are definitely affected by the financial and emotional aspect of drug usage. For instance, most of the time a big percentage of a person's pay check would go to buying drugs, which results in the child not receiving the best care possible. It could also affect where the child attends school and how he/she acts in school. A child could feel uncomfortable or unloved when at home and when they come to school they could feel disconnected or lost. They may not get the attention they need at home and that could result in a need for it at school. All in all, drug usage is an unfortunate act that affects many who come encounter with it and you have to be careful as a teacher when dealing with the issue in order to have the best outcome possible.
