October 23 Journals

In honor of Red Ribbon Week those of you wearing Black and Gold today will earn 1 extra credit point in class.

After today's journal, come and see me for the Bridges survey (for Red Ribbon Week). When you are done with the survey you may move into Study Island.

I am also going to be telling you your grade thus far and if extra credit is beneficial to you. If you have an outstanding essay missing it is due by Wednesday, Oct 22 at midnight, or it will be a zero.

TRUSTWORTHINESS — When someone is trustworthy you can have confidence in him. Trustworthiness shows itself in at least four different ways. First, there is integrity. That’s when your thoughts, words and actions all agree with each other. Second, there is honesty. That’s when you tell the truth, sometimes volunteering information because it is essential or important for another person to know. Thirdly, you show trustworthiness by keeping your promises, meaning you do what you say you will do. And fourthly, you are trustworthy if you are loyal. That means you support your friends, family, commitments and your country.
It is impossible to have meaningful relationships without trust. And that’s one of the problems with using illegal drugs: it undermines trust.


Answer all three questions today.
  1. Can you trust someone who abuses or is addicted to drugs? Why?
  2. Can you trust someone who is high?
  3. Where is the drug addict’s loyalty: to his drugs or to people who care about him?

I think you can sometimes trust people who are addicted to drugs because if they are addicted to ciggarettes they are still trustworthy.

No because they dont know what they are talking about half the time. No because they dont know what they are doing or what they are saying when they are high. To his drugs, the drugs dont care about his family or his life.

Yes you can trust people who are addicted to drugs because the people who are addicted to drugs are not just stupid so i would trust somebody addicted to drugs and it all depends on if you know the person or not to just say you can't trust them but i can care less if the person is on drugs or not half of the people will just smoke it with him or her

No you usually cannot trust a drug addict. Drug addicts are usually random and not to be trusted or very much liked. You also can't trust a person who is high becuase if they are always high then you can't know what they will do or say or how they can hurt you. A drug addict usually tends to care more for himselfand drugs then he does to his friends and family most of the time. However, there are some cases where they do care for others, it's just not talked about as much.

You can't trust someone who uses drugs because they could be lying a lot and you can't trust someone who is high because they hallucinate and the drug addict's loyalty should be toward his friends.

you can some not trust someone who is addicted to drugs, because what they say to you is not always true. you can not trust someone who is high because, the drugs at the time that they are high is taking over their body. so this is why you can't trust someone who is addicted to drugs or soemone who is high.

u cant trust someone who is addicteed to drugs beacuse they would do anything to get them and if u make a promise with them u can bet they break it.u probly cant turst someone who high ethier because when ur high u dont really know what ur doing so yeah u be safer not tursting someone whos high. A drug addict is loaly to the drugs and turns on eveyone whos trying to help them because they think that thier trying to harm them.

i do not think yo can trust someone who is doing grugs because sometimes they dont tell the truth because the grug is taking over their body

you can not trust someone who is high because the might not be in their right mind and can cause them to say things that are not true

an addicit main priority is getting grugs they dont care about their family that loves them so much this happens because them become phycologically addicted to the grug and causes them to think about drugs all the time.

I can not trust someone who is abuses or is addicted to drugs. If they are on drugs then they do not always know what they are saying. I can not trust anyone who is high. They will sometimes forget what they said they would do. A drug addicts is loyalty to his drugs.

I can not trust somene who abuses or is addicted to drugs because they would do anything to hurt you or to get more drugs. I can not trust people who are high. I can not trust them because when people are high they tend to not know the knowing as known as common sense. Sometimes do really stupid things. The addicts loyalty is usually to his drugs because he/she is really addicted to it. They would give their whole life for drugs. It is very dissapointing. I Had a cousin on drugs and she was very pretty and gave up everything even her good looks for drugs. It causes a lot of pain and grief to the people who care most about them in life.

I can trust my dad and he is a smoker. I can trust myself because I am a second hand smoker. I can trust my dad because he always keeps his promises and he said that he was going to quit and he is trying to quit right now. No you can never trust a person who is high. My dad's loyalty is to my family and not to his cigarettes.

You can trust some people who abuse or are adicted to drugs. However you can't trust someone who is high.

Anonymous said...

You can't trust someone who is addicted to drugs or abuses because they can be very dangerous. You can't trust someone who gets high. Someone who is addicted to drugs is loyal to both.

In my opinion I dont think I can trust someone thats addicted to drugs because when someone has those types of problems you would never know how they are going to react toward you.

No because they will try to get you addicted to them.
No because they will try to hit/fight you.
DK(don't know)but I would think that it will addict loyalty to both him and the people that care about him.

I would say I can't trust a person who is on any type of drugs unless they are very close to me I would still probably not trust the person because they might turn on you .

Can you trust someone who abuses or is addicted to drugs? Why?
yes becuase if they are smoking there ok aslong as they dont offer you to smoke

Can you trust someone who is high? no becase they can do something they wont remeber and something you may never forget.


Where is the drug addict’s loyalty: to his drugs or to people who care about him? if its cigerets then if could be both. but if its illgeal drugs then its just to the drugs

Anonymous said...

I don't think you can trust people on drugs why because they might lie to you because there high and they are probably sick because of that so thats why I don't trust them

Anonymous said...

No you cant trust someone that is addicted to drugs because if they are addicted they will do stupid things. so if you ask them to hold your money for a minute they will probably run off with your money.

Anonymous said...

I think you can an you can't because they could just people who only drink it once in a while. but someone who is on something bad and they caught they can tell they got it from you. with trustworthiness is that by doing drugs you tend to forge things and with keeping promisee they may tell they were paying you back and they spended it on drugs so that was my last reason.
