My Dad is my anti-drug. I’ve always had a close bond with my dad and we always joke around. He shows me love and support no matter what, and I am grateful for that. My dad loves to give me lectures and sometimes he talks a lot. But I know they always mean something he always tells me how it’s important to have good grades to have a good future. More to this topic though he shares his opinion on drugs because he is against them and so am I. My dad tells me his past experiences with having friends that do drugs and all of them are either in jail or dead. I do appreciate his lectures because at the end of the day he is always right, I’ve learned to be humble, respectful and wise because of him and for that he is the one that has helped stay away from all the bad things. My dad is very important to me because he always has my back and I can tell him anything. I thank god for him because he is a great father. For those reasons I choose my dad to be my anti-drug.
