And now to the journal...

RESPECT — Respect means showing genuine regard for the worth of people, including yourself. It doesn’t mean that we hold everyone in high esteem or admire them. It means that everyone’s safety and well-being matters, and that all people have value. We show respect by honoring a person’s dignity and privacy, by acting courteously, by accepting and tolerating different cultures, styles of dress, traditions and opinions, and by acknowledging that everyone has the right to make up his own mind. In other words, we live by the Golden Rule: we treat others the way we want to be treated. It means we never treat others simply as a means to our own gratification or gain. Drug abuse works against respect for others and for ourselves.

  1. How does drug abuse cause people to be disrespectful toward others?

  2. How does it show a lack of respect for oneself?

  3. Consider the crimes often associated with drug abuse. List the violent crimes in one column and non-violent crimes in another.

  2. A dug addict is usually not a good friend or a turstworthy person. They are usually too much addicted to the drugs that they don't care wat happens to others or what other people really think of them. However after they get help they always seem to be better friends in the long run.

  18. Drug abuse probably causes people to be disrespectfull to others from drugs because the drugs messes with your mind and makesyou a diffrent person inside. It lacks respect for oneself because it shows hyou dont care about your body even if you are aware of drugs and the dangers of them.
    the violent crimes are going around hitting people for no reason because you have no idea what you're doing because you're high. When people rob banks it's probably to get money for drugs. But when people rob gas stations and stuff like that its pobably just to gt more money and think they can get away with it. When people go on a high speed chase it's probably just to feel the need of speed. :D

  36. Doing drugs is a bad thin for both you and the other people who are around you, for instance if you are smoking in front of a large group of people, some of them can end up with lung cancer without even tring the drug because of you. The lack of respect for other people to even think about smoking in front of other people let alone children is unbarable. By putting ones self into harms way is total disrespect to yourself, using drugs can completely kill all your dreams,hopes, and reality. It is killing you, it is total lack of respect to your goals and what you've worked so hard to build. If it doesnt bother you, yo should think of the millions of innocent people who stcuk by you through all of your problems, it is unfair to you and your friends/family. Doing drugs takes over you, your body, your actions. You could commit felonies [crimes] without even knowing. Drugs are so powerful, you could end up doing anything without realizing that you are. You could end up in jail for an addiction, the best way to be is drug-free.
