The Girl
My name is Morgan and I'm going to be 18 this year. I live in Portage, PA, a dismal drug town. I'm a vegetarian, animal lover, and an athlete. I play volleyball and run distance in track. Plan on attending community college for my general studies and attending Mount Aloysius to study Criminal Justice/Forensic Accounting and hopefully go into the FBI or CIA.
more?

Addictions---I know I even get sick of that word!

"I am the bubble gum that sticks in your hair!"
"I am the ingrown toenail on the foot of crime!"
"I am the itch you cannot reach!"
"I am the paper cut that ruins your day!"
"I am the parking meter that expires while you shop!"
"I am the plot-twist in the 2nd reel!"
"I am the terror that flaps in the night!"
"I am the weirdo who sits next to you on the bus!"
"I am the winged scourge that pecks at your nightmares!"
"I am the wrong number that wakes you at 3 am!"

Today during Health, we had this discussion on how addiction is caused by you, yourself, and that it's your fault you started it. Or to say "You made your bed, now lie in it." I'm very mixed on this entire subject because, well, yes you did create the addiction yourself and you're digging yourself deeper into the hole buy feeding that addiction of whatever it is...sex, drugs, smoking,,,caffeine. Another thing that gets you into addiction would be the advertising. Advertising to me is probably the biggest seller for addictions out there.
I remember turning the TV on to catch the news today and saw a Truth Commericial where a woman was waiting for a lung transplant because she had lung cancer from smoking. Now, here is where the dilemma is...She wouldn't be in the mess if she hadn't smoked or stayed away from people who smoked. If the cigarette companies advertisings did reach her and she thought it uncool or if she learned to say no to smoking, than where would she be? Probably at her home with healthy lungs, lots of money from all the cigarettes she DIDN'T buy and from not paying hospital bills. Are we seeing a pattern here? A person can in a way predict their future when it comes to these things. She could be happy and not waiting to die, in a sense.
I once, had smoked, and after a few tries I am now happily non-addicted. It wasn't that hard to do... I guess it was more of a mental "I need" type of addiction. I wasn't having withdrawals like some people do with drugs and smoking. I'm a runner and it just sucks to run and smoke. Stupid...so very stupid. I thought it were "cool" and that I was important but no, that's not how it works out. I was still that freak who everyone thought was a witch (Delightfully amusing)...ahh...Virginia, the worst place to live...how I hate it...Anyway...NO SMOKING! IT'S BAD BAD BAD FOR YOU! My mom's nerves are always fried because of me, so she thinks she needs to smoke...tsk tsk...no matter how many times I've tried to help, she gets irritated with me a little more and smokes some more. I'll let her get lung cancer.
