    By Patrick Stalker          Drugs are demons of the soul. People use drugs to get in peace of mind, calm themselves down, and for recreational use. When highly consumed, drugs either shut down the body or become addictive. Once a person becomes addicted, proper care becomes essential. Even though some people may think addicts cannot classify as a patient, studies prove addicts increasingly                     improve when treated slowly and correctly.     Many Boomers believe drugs are appalling, irrelevant, and a problem. However, the younger generations believe the opposite. Drug rates have already increased by 7.5% since COVID-19. Many use it for hanging out with friends, while others use it to get out of their heads. Either way, both are excessive. Due to the opinions of the boomers, young people feel the need to hide and sometimes overdo it before getting caught. Furthermore, having to hurry can cause increased overdoses and arrests.

America has had a long history of fighting racism and discrimination throughout many groups within its history. People who have experienced a racist interaction are more likely to have an increase of hate and judgment of the race as a whole because of their interaction. Many people argue different things when it comes to this issue. One thing everyone can agree on is that to feel hate towards a race is a horrible trait to have. A lot of younger age people argue that the blame falls on people within the older age group.

      Girl Holding a Fake smile up to her face after crying a lot   Have you ever been in or seen a relationship where a woman does not feel safe? Every time I think about this question, I get gut-wrenching memories of my friend Ava's abusive relationship. Abusive Relationships are a lot more common than one would think. According to the  World Health organization , "Worldwide, almost one-third (27%) of women aged 15-49 years who have been in a relationship report that they have been subjected to some form of physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner".
