The Amy Winehouse Event - DON'T TAKE DRUGS!
In this article, I will explain about a woman named Amy Winehouse. Why there are illegal drugs? We had speakers in an important assembly to talk which helped us understand the negative aspects to taking drugs. I will explain what drugs are and the side effects it can have on you.
WHAT are DRUGS?
Drugs are types of substance and liquid that gives you good, weird to nasty side effects. Some are in the form of a pill while others are powdery or in specific shapes. There are good drugs that are used for medical purposes like paracetamol for a headache, while others are illegal like meth and are just straight up bad for your health such as ones used every day like cigarettes. Some drugs may become addictive, so you will not want to start taking that specific drug or you may become addicted.
AMY WINEHOUSE’S STORY
Amy Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter who achieved international fame. Her unique blend of jazz, soul, and blues, along with her powerful vocals, captivated audiences, and critics. However, her life was marked by personal struggles, including substance abuse and mental health issues, which significantly impacted her career and, ultimately, led to her tragic death from alcohol poisoning at the age of 27 in 2011.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ASSEMBLY?
What happened? This gentleman came on the assembly stage and talked about Amy’s story about her dying of poisoning and the consequences of her drug use. He also discussed his personal story explaining how his Mum and Dad were drug users and how his family were greatly affected negatively by drug use. His Dad was emotionless and chilled while his Mum was timid and full of anxiety. He explained the negative effects that drugs have had on his family and encouraged us not to take drugs. It was very emotive.
SIDE EFFECTS OF DRUGS + CONCLUSION
All drugs have one or more side effects; some are fatal to making you ill. These include nausea, upset stomach, dry mouth, permanent organ damage, drowsiness, and even worse, death. The main thing that was effectively taught in the assembly was the message not to take drugs, except for the ones that are recommend by medics and for medical purposes.
