Life Ed

When I was little I used to love Harold and enjoy the facts about the body.

Now in Yr 7, it's different. We learn about the different types of drugs and how they affect our body. There are actually more drugs then I imagined. There's all those different types, like the stimulation drugs, the hallucination drugs and the depressants. Drugs were best described as: Anything that is not food, water or oxygen that can be absorbed in the human body. It was also referred as the web of addiction. The web is the drugs and it lures you in...

Michelle was the person who was in charge of the Life Ed in SAMS. She told us about a lot of things, like puberty. One of the many things I learnt was that there was something called the seven steps on the ladder of puberty. You can start on this ladder when you are as young as 9 or as old as 15. You spend seven years on this ladder, and normally when you get off, you are about 17. Michelle said she was never going to tell us” Don’t do drugs.” But one thing she kept repeating was “Delay your decision.” She also showed us a lot of videos about all the people who had experiences with drugs and how their lives turned out.
At the last day, we met Harold and his friend Big G. They sang a song and we got to pat him.
I learnt a lot of different things that changed my mind about drugs- not that I would have ever taken them, that is. One important thing I learnt was “Even if people have had a bad day, a smile could be the thing that would cheer them up!” :)
