Substance abuse -- not a joking matter
Attention, all students... |
---|
Experimenting with and using various "substances" --drugs-- is on the increase among young people. Don't fool yourself -- there's no such thing as "Just once." Getting hooked on a drug is not just a personal matter. Beyond the havoc drugs can wreak in your health, life, and studies are the pain caused to friends and family, the run-ins with police and legal authorities. And don't forget: If you're an international student, a drug offense can easily mean the end of your studies and career in Japan. |
Is it worth it?
Don't play with your future -- don't play with drugs.
