Dear Future President,

Drug and alcohol use is a big problem in our country. People are dying because of overdoses and violence caused by both drug and alcohol use in America. These people are not only hurting themselves, but the people around them too. I can’t say how many times I’ve found used needles in parks and parking lots of stores. This is a danger to both adults and children. Children can step on used needles or even pick them up, not knowing what they are playing with. There are stories everyday on the news about people getting killed by both drunk drivers and drug users. Many people start doing drugs and drinking alcohol at the age of 12. I don’t know how to fix this problem but, I trust you, the President, can help out both our youth and adults in this situation.

Sincerely,

Chelsea G.
