I'm afraid to _____________ because.....
I am afraid to do drugs because they are SUPER scary. I think they are pointless, stupid, and won't get me anywhere in life besides the hospital. So many kids now are turning to drugs for stress relievers or to get this funny feeling that supposedly makes you feel good. I just want the kids to know that there are so many better ways to relieve stress. I've had a pretty rough life and I'm clean. I box and play all kinds of sports to relieve my stress, and I also sing and dance. Kids just need to know that drugs aren't the way.
