Addiction is something many people have struggled with. It continues to be a problem in many places including Rochester, NY. It affects teenagers, adults, and children. The problem with addiction is that it affects everyone around it. Including kids who may be around it and teenagers also. Now is the perfect time because of the addiction to vapes and how high the addiction rate has been since 2019. A lot of people sell drugs, and a lot of stores sell things such as vapes and alcohol without any ID to anyone. It can change a lot of people's lives if we focus on this situation. Teenagers in school are vaping in the bathroom 24/7 due to addiction and no one seems to care. The number of middle schoolers that vape has increased more than 2%. Not that any of this information may matter to you but it matters to me and those who want to stop addiction to anything. We are in a society where doing the wrong things is good, or cool, or is what makes us popular and well known. But you are just ruining your mind and body doing things that aren't good. Even adults who can quit addiction tend not to. Due to stress, or any other factors that come into play. There are many addiction services in Rochester, NY. We should be able to talk to the public more and bring it up on social media. We can help those people and help anyone who is struggling with addiction. Our words matter and bringing this topic to anyone is important. We can get kids to pay attention in class and not worry about whether they need to vape. Stop parents from drinking or smoking around children and maybe in general. We all can do something about it. But do we want to?

Ne-Yo. I love your solutions for educating people on addiction. Young people can fall into the trap and continue drug use throughout their lives.
