Reading Response(social issue)

   I read the article called "Growing Drug Problem Adds To Afghans Misery"  and the article is about how lots are people are affected by drugs. The article stated that "Once a river flowed under this low Kabul bridge, but now the thin stream is clotted with garbage, the banks are piled with refuse and crowds of heroin and opium addicts huddle in the shadows". I think the author put this line inside the article because it shows how much drugs have changed people. And some people just cant stop using them, even though they know that it's killing them. They are addicted to using drugs.What i learned from reading this article is that infections can happen when people are using certian types of drugs. When they use needles and they arent careful to where it has been before, they might get H.I.V and that's another problem with using drugs. Now I'm wondering why the afghans are the most affected by drugs.
   I read another article related to drug addiction and the tittle is "When Children scribbles to hide a Prison drug". This article is about how some people will try to do anything to get their hands on some drug. I read that there was a envolope with a strip of suboxone stuck onto it's back. Also since drug usage is illegal some people wont let that stop them. They buy drugs from people that sells it on the streets, and thats how they get it. What I learned from reading this article is that people dont stick to the rules, and they are just hurtting to themselves because i read that some children use drugs, and that's really sad.
