Narcotic Abuse, Harassment, and Thieves

Knight its a very valid post and the serious issue of narcotic abuse and people who will go to any extent to s*** on people who they should treat better for the sake of their indulgence and need.

Its sad that aspects of society is this way...The issue of prescript drug abuse is seriously bad. Im sorry this happens to you and i can imagine how dispondent it must make you feel at times.

Ive never experienced it but i can imagine its the pits...The only thing i can say to you is to choose your company wisely..and avoid these types of people if you can.
You will eliminate a good proportion of these probs. With regards to the hospital staff...they need some retraining on how to be non prejudice and judge people on pre conceptions. That treatment and judgement would annoy me big time.

Forunatley these people are not part of my social circle, nor will they ever be, added to the fact that this is a small island most people know each other here and if they don't don't know you they will surely ask around especially if a family member has befriended or started a relationship with you. Personally i had anger issues with drug addicts lamenting that compared to SCI they have a choice each time they fix up. they can either do it or not do it. We the SCI do not have a choice and most us could sell you the abundance of willpower we have if we had the chance to get better so each time they complain i compare to my own case.
I am currently involved in a programme for students whom have exited secondary education with no qualifications and seeing all this in different light, it is not the drug problem and associated crime to sustain habit that bothers me but what is leading these people to this lifestyle, most have odd or broken family issues leading to social problems. Unwanted pregnancies and parents whose only ambition in life is self pleasure like wise their kids follow by example. As kids they are more prone to be infatuated by bravado, fighting the establishment or body apperances in which the latter soon erodes due to the hard lifestyle. Most stick to there own sort of like we do so yes peer pressure is a great issue. A particular student of mine lived in an institution father unknown, mother was not deemed fit by court order. His behaviour was terrible, a nightmare especially if you are a teacher in a chair. At fourteen he was already addicted to something he called smack. i used to laugh as i often told him i felt like giving him one when misbehaving and pot mouthing. He loved boxing to which i used to refer to as a highly discipled sport, disciple i hate it, well to be a good boxer is not being a thug, one must exercise and control what you eat on a daily regime, thats disciple and its all about brain not brawn in the ring too. he really taught hard on the word disciple, i knew it now had new meaning. I Did not get anywhere with him to cut a long story short however hopefully i wish he continue his love for boxing as this will surley keep him off the stuff and make him a man not a thug. At one time i taught it sad also should he had been the son i never had and the things i could of taught him. best culture them from very young as once they grow up its hard. i have been unfortunate by accident he unfortunate by which family he was born into.
