To be dependent: en fortælling om stofmisbrug

The other evening my best friend and I sow a movie, about a boy who was on drugs. The person, who took these drugs, has this problem, that he cut not stop it, when he first was begun.

The movie was very terrible, and after I have seen all this, I found out, that I will trey to describe the person’s feelings and situation.

I woke up early in the morning feeling very bad. My head hurts and my hands are shaking and I am terribly tired. I have not been sleeping very long. I have to go to school, but I need some drugs. I’m not in control, but the drugs control me. I can’t stop. I have become an addict. How do I get the drugs today, and how do I get the money for it? I spent my last money yesterday, and I can’t ask my parents for money. I don’t want them, to know what I am doing. I am so tired, and the last few days I have been sleeping in the classroom. I didn’t learn properly for the last two weeks, and after school I took drugs. I can’t think of anything else, but how I get the money for drugs. It is much more important to me, than food. As usual I was late for school. It is difficult for me to concentrate, and I can’t sit still. Fortunately it was not a long day, and after school I asked one of my friends if he could lend me some money. I did not tell him, what I was going to use it for. I immediately went to a guy, who sells drugs. I bought it, and started to smoke it. After I inhaled it for the third time, I got angry with myself and stopped myself from taking any more. Now I felt good. After dinner I began to shake again, and I knew I had to get more drugs immediately. How do I get out of this hell, and who can help me? Sooner or later my parents will find out, and I know they will be very sad and angry. Please who can help me? I wonder, if I could ask one of my teachers to help me, but I’m afraid they will tell my parents or they will throw me out of school. I am so scared - what will happen to me? I want to get out of this hell, and I don’t want any of my friends to get into this like me. Maybe I need professional help, to get out of this. I want to do it myself, but I know it is impossible.
