Realize that one of the main reasons for the decline in success in any aspect of this country is drugs.

We all have drug stories we can tell from growing up. However, due to the media the majority of the youth in America are becoming trashy, weed smoking, partiers. They do not realized that weed causes a psychotropic addiction and you can never get rid of it. I have seen kids become losers. Arson, sitting at home playing COD, smoking weed and no job. They come to school not caring about what they have to learn to be successful and instead focus on the next ounce they are going to buy and party to go to. Not all kids do this, but from the area I am in 3 out of 4 teens do some type of illegal substance and claim they will just stay home and collect welfare or unemployment and deal. You can argue this saying there is "evidence" against my claim, but studies don't compare to personal experience
