Drug Addicts Aren't Just Old Creepy Adults

I just came home from the mall and kind of experienced a realization. While walking through the mall I over heard a conversation with two teenagers.

This is what they roughly said:
"Yo man, this got me feelin' nice." Says Kid One.
"What?" Says Kid Two.
"The morphine got me feelin' nice." Says Kid One.
"See, I told you...." Says Kid Two

Their conversation carried on as I walked into fye. For some reason this really bothered me. I know that a lot of kids do drugs and such but it just made me see something different. For some reason, sub-consciously I always though of drug addicts as adults. I mean, I don't know why I thought that, but I did. I'm around a few kids that abuse drugs a lot. But I never really acknowledged that they were drug addicts persay. I mean I would joke about it with them and they would ofcourse deny that statement. But just hearing that conversation in the mall made me feel weird. Well first of all, morphine is a highly addictive drug. Second of all, I've never been near someone in real life that has done it. It kind of bursted my bubble. Like drug addicts can be teenagers. In fact they probably started off as teenagers. It just opened my eyes, that I'm no longer protected by the "horrors" of the world by my parents.

Now I'm not squeaky clean--I pulled a stupid movie once and I highly regret it. But humans make mistakes, and I've learned from mine. I know that I have stated that I don't condemn drug dealers, and I still don't. But if people would just open their eyes and understand that drugs will lead to your downfall then please stop buying drugs. If one drug dealer stops selling, they'll just goto another one. It has nothing to do with the dealers and everything to do with the buyers. I don't know, we all do things that we regret. And It's just sad to wake up into reality. I guess once you grow out of your parents bubble, nothing seems so magical anymore. :-/

I don't think I'll ever be the same again.
