Avoid bad company

        As i can recall tha day vividly, it was on monday morning as  we realised that one of our friend is not reporting to school for somedays. The class teacher was unhappy with that and asked us to find out why. After two days later he reported to school and told that he had two friend from his former school who put drugs in his soda and later made him  smoke then ran away and hide in a forest.
       His friends were stealing  money from their parents to buy these  drugs he  became sick and sometime  talk and shout in his sleep. His parents discovered and asked him how he learned to take drugs and alcohol. He told that he was taught  by one of his friend who had lived in the streets in town and he was even brought to him in school fence during lunch break untill he got addicted.
       The class teacher promised to counsel him e called a drug counsellor attached to the education office to talk to him because he know alot about drugs. He showed him some newspaper cuttings with pictures of people who were smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. one of them was johny sniffing glue.
The counsellor was happy because ha was listening carefull and promised to stop drugs and continue with his study were now he had finished his studies and get  a good job for better future.
