My photograph is of Aislinn''s shoe that is black and white, but with a little pop of red. The concept of my photo is to represent that drugs aren't best out there. You honestly can find something way better to do with your free time and that you're just wasting your money on it. Drugs come in many different variations, they come in packages, containers, etc... Many people try their best ways of trying to get or use illegal drugs for themselves or for others. Some people force others to use drugs.  I'm here to be voice for others to tell that you can do  so much more than abusing drugs.  Honestly, if you choose to go down the drug pathway, then you must learn the consequences first. You will be dealing with serious brain damage, heart or lung disease or could damage many other important organs. For example,  cocaine and heroin can lead to death. Abusing drugs could also lead accidents, crime, violence, illness loses opportunity. Maybe you take hit before. Maybe you strike at the police with knowing. Violence towards your family, maybe word you might not mean. Illness of being in the hospital of a disease. And loses opportunity to colleges acceptions or maybe even scholarships. You gotta be smart about the decisions you make because you only have one life so don't waste it.
HUGS NOT DRUGS!

Red Ribbon Essay

The Concept of my photo is that we shouldn’t ignore obvious signs of someone transporting drugs and we should report it.The car happened to be red, so i got lucky that there was a red car in school. There are lots of people that use cars to transport drugs all over the world. We should be careful with what we say and do around them and be careful when you are reporting them.

I don’t know what type of rugs we are talking about so i can’t say that drugs are bad

My photo is of  Mellany sitting down on the ground. The message of this is she is homeless asking for money for drug. She has been doing drugs for a while and lost everything she had. People gave her a blanket and tries to support her. She lost everything because she decided that drugs were more important than everything else. The message behind the is this is if you don’t stop doing drugs you’re going to end up wasting all your money or end up dead.

I think that not doing drugs is important because it will help you in the long run. I f you do not do drugs your able to do things that people on drugs who can not do.

Red Ribbon

My photo is of Ranusha   Wearing a red hat and how the red is only focused on the red while the rest is black and white. The meaning behind my picture is that drugs will cause brain issues and will potentially mess with one’s mental health and how the brain functions. This is represented by it being the main focus. The brain gets destroyed while taking in drugs and not a lot of people are aware and this picture brings awareness to brain developing.

Drugs are bad because they lower one’s worth, not only self-worth but their brains work as well.  Drugs have a lifelong effect on your body and brain, you can never get it back to how it originally was. Personally I do not see a point in drugs because of the lifelong effects and causes. Drugs are something you can never take back no matter if you stop they’ll always be a part of your brain.

Red Ribbon is to represent drug free.There's a huge number of people in this world that do drugs and there needs to be a stop to it. This image is a clown wig thrown up I the air. These bright colors are for the ones that use these drugs and that there is better in life than trapping yourself in a bad situation. Saying no to drugs is important for people around us and can be really hurtful to see if so why not just stop these harmful drugs.
Using drugs can cause a lot of damage. The world needs to know that there's brighter things to look forward to like these colors on the wig. I really like this picture because it was thrown up in the air and it looks like it's floating. Also I love the colors they make the colors pop out with the black and white back round.

Red Ribbon

What are drugs? How do they affect us along with our body? These are a couple of questions we may ask ourselves along with others. This is a picture of four football players jumping in mid-air posing for the picture that is being taken with fast shutter speed. The only reason why these four have a jersey on with their name and football number is because drugs aren’t apart of their life at all, they are being successful in school, and hopefully looking towards getting a scholarship in what they love doing. If you find yourself in a problem situation, make an excuse to leave. Ask for support from other friends or adults if someone is really pressuring you to use drugs. Make new friends who respect your decision not to use drugs. Go to events that don't involve drugs.

There are so many reasons why we shouldn’t let drugs into our lives. I will list some of the main ones, Behavioral Problems, drugs can change a teen’s personality, instead of being easygoing or hardworking, drugs can make a person angry, bitter, and aggressive. This will most likely have an impact on relationships with parents, teachers, and others in authority. Next, Crime and Violence, teens on drugs may steal to support their drug habit or they may become involved with violence because of their mental impairment. Last, Brain Damage, not only do drugs and alcohol harm the body, but the brain can be negatively affected also, seizures, coma, and memory loss are all common among people who abuse drugs and alcohol. Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia all go hand in hand with substance abuse in teens. Another important example on how drugs really do affect us is Health Problems, drugs and alcohol are toxic to the body and can cause things like liver and kidney failure, rapid heart rate, tremors, and irregular respiration.  People commonly fall into addiction because they begin using drugs to mask particular emotions that they are going through. The abuse makes them feel good and forget about the problem at hand. Eventually they think they can't live without drugs. Prescription drugs, street drugs and alcohol are more available than ever. I hope you make the choice to say NO to drugs.

Red Ribbon
The concept of the photo is to show how one Reaps what they Sew. If a person is in a dark place and starts using drugs to get through it and make it the bright thing in their life. That person will reap the consequences of using drugs or alcohol in their health, friendship, and family life.

This photo shows a picture of a tree. Showing how the person sewed the seed of using drugs as the bright part of their life in a dark world. Plus, I liked the picture of the plant and how it’s a shallow depth of field showing focus on the foreground and hazing out the background

Red Ribbon Week:
The meaning behind this photo is simply drugs are evil. Drugs are harmful substances that are not meant to be in your body and if they are they are only harming your body and how it operates. Unlike monsters the pain and suffering from the use of drugs is real and it isn't something that just effects you drugs effect everyone in your life. Drugs are a lot of the time the sources of broken homes and death. Don't let the real life monsters get you either stay drug free. I think this photo is unique because it is a picture of actual art something nobody was paid to do.

Red Ribbon

The concept of my photo started off with the idea of unity. Usually people that start doing drugs are surrounded by people who use and are convinced that they should do it as well. But when you’re surrounded with people that are also against drugs it helps you stay away it. That’s why I liked this photo compared to the other shots I took because the red ribbon was wrapped around everyone’s hand.

Saying no to drugs is a good thing because it can change a person to the highest extent. And If you really start doing hardcore drugs it can mentally damage a person’s way of thinking. That’s why I believe that people should stay away from drugs that can completely damage a person. I believe that it is possible for people to do other things rather than turning their heads toward drugs to keep themselves occupied.

The main thing I’m trying to focus on is the red backpack. The thing I was trying to portray is that school is very important by showing the red backpack. School is a big part of every kids life and drugs are very predominant in the school atmosphere especially the high school atmosphere. It is also like a symbol to stand up to drugs because drugs can ruin a lot of people lives and it makes a lot of kids drop out of school because it takes over their life. The red backpack is kind of like saying “stay in school” and make smart choices. I think the photo is very meaningful and just shows the importance of school and how there is a lot of help at school to help people stop using drugs.

I think drugs are bad because they can ruin a lot of people lives. A lot of drugs are addicting like meth for example and when you are on meth you can’t control your body or your mind and you basically go crazy. Meth is also super addictive so you need more and more and it takes over your life. This just shows how drugs are bad because a lot of people are falling into this trap and ruining their life and becoming crazy for no reason. Drugs are also bad because they are expensive so once you are addicted a lot of your money goes to that when it should go to other beneficial things that won’t kill you. These are the reasons I think drugs are bad and why people shouldn’t use them.

Different types of drugs can cause different parts of your body to fail to function, Like your organs , heart , brain , etc. Or drugs can cause cancer as well.

Red ribbon week is important to many people that have been effected by drugs. Drugs are not always good for you and it is good to have a week to remind everyone that it is better to be drug free. The photo that I took kind of represents like a superhero and it shows that heroes aren’t just like Spider-man or Superman. By not doing drugs you are saving yourself from a bad life. Many people that have been affected by drugs have really emotional stories and what they go through while on drugs are crazy. It’s better to just live a normal life than to ruin yours by just doing a dumb act like drugs.

I choose this photo to be my Red Ribbon Week because it's showing bright hot pink/ dark red of a cape coving her mouth. Drugs are very bad to the human body because it causes lots of problems that can damage bones, blood cells teethes, eye sights, and the brain because without these things in your body it won't be able to function properly. Also Red Ribbon Week is an important week because It shows that people should always say No to Drugs because it doesn’t just harm you but everyone around you that care very much, and are helping people fight against their addictions.

My photo represents the struggle between life and death. The red ribbon is hanging on a tree to show the life of the world and the ribbon represents the struggle of drug addiction nationwide. The picture is overall Black and white to focus on the red ribbon to show the importance of not doing drugs. It’s hard to see the world in such a crisis.

It’s important not to do drugs because the overall ruin peoples life. They affect the way people live and can ruin their future. When people get addicted t drugs they end up spending all their money on it and ruin their current financial state. They lose their families and sometimes even their children.

In my photograph, I captured someone tying the ribbon on someone else's hand because when drugs enter your life you start to push away your friends and close out everyone. Drugs ruin your body by losing your teeth or simply damaging them, discoloration of skin, and you know the rest. We have all been told that drugs are bad and we should stay away but many don't. Not because they didn't listen but simple as curiosity. I chose this picture because with the help of a friend or family anyone can recover. Recovery isn’t a simple thing for someone to go through. Many don’t reach out for help because of embarrassment or fear of being judged for who they have become. Drugs start becoming a part of you once they aren't a want they become a need and we call this addiction and for some this is seen as if they aren't addicted they are just experimenting or that they can't get addicted to a substance. Everyone deserves the help they need no matter who the are or who they were before. Drugs can get taught about but no one takes them as serious anymore but we can raise awareness and let it be brought to attention.

Basically in my photo, the red ribbon is wrapped around a trash bin, which means that drugs are trash. And to get rid of all drugs and completely dispose of them. It’s common sense that drugs are bad, but no one should be dumb enough to know what drugs does to your body and mind. So from the start, everyone has been taught that drugs are bad and they show others examples from other people who overdosed on them or others who were strong enough to recover from them. So to be honest, I don’t feel bad for the ones who ended doing drugs and can’t get out of it because they have been warned and they knew the consequences. It has affected lots of families in many different ways because of drugs. Of course they use it as an escape, but I think they use it for an excuse, because there are many different ways to make someone feel better. Drugs aren’t an escape from anything, they are an entrance to a very dark world where it is hard to find the door. It’s understandable that these people had a really tough life, but it doesn’t mean you should make it worse, there is always another way.
