　　Drugs are not child’s play

　　The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime,(犯罪) or UNODC, selected (选择)“drugs are not child’s play” as the theme of its 2006 international campaign,in an effort to increase public awareness of the destructive power of drugs and society’s responsibility to care for the well-being of children. (为增加公众对毒品危害的了解,和社会对儿童健康所应尽的责任而做出努力)和The latest statistics indicate (数据显示)that 200 million people, or 5 per cent of the global population aged 15-64, have consumed (消费)illicit (不法的)drugs at least once in the last 12 months. But what about children?

　　Although they are seldom the object of national and international studies, children of all ages are affected by drug abuse(滥用) and trafficking (非法交易). Street children, working and living in terrible conditions, are vulnerable,(易受伤害的) as are boys and girls whose family members are buying or selling illicit substances. These kids are exposed not only to bad examples but also to violent (暴力)behavior associated to drug abuse.In some instances, (例如)children have lost their parents to this scourge(灾难) and are now cared for by uncles, aunts or grandparents. At school, the situation may not be any better. Teenagers and peers (同龄人) may be pressuring kids to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol (酒精)at first, and then to try marihuana (大麻). Other types of drugs may follow.

　　Saying No to Drugs

　　Good morning, everyone. I am here today to talk to you on the topic of Saying no to drugs. My message to you all is never to try drugs. Say "No" every time anyone ever tries to give or sell you drugs. Don't speak to that person again. Drugs are addictive, so please do not think that you might be stronger than other people. Even taking a drug just once is very dangerous.

　　Now, let me give you some reasons for my opinion. First, drugs are illegal. Buying or selling drugs, having drugs—these are all against the law. Breaking the law is wrong and it is dangerous too. Now you have a bright future waiting for you, but if you start doing illegal things, all that will change—if you commit crimes you will be punished.

　　Second, drugs can be very bad for your health. Drugs are powerful chemicals. They give you very high blood pressure; they do strange things to your heart rate; they stop you from eating properly; they change the way you breathe. Drug addicts feel ill most of the time. They have a lot of pain. Do you want this? Many drug addicts share needles and become infected with deadly diseases like AIDS. Drugs also make people behave strangely. Drug addicts fall out of windows and hurt themselves with knives and broken glass. Addicts can easily take too much of their drug—and then they die. Please do not hurt yourself in any of these ways. Say "No" to drugs!

　　Drugs cost a lot of money. If you take drugs you will soon be poor. To get money to buy drugs you will do stupid and illegal things. You will lose your friends and have a lot of trouble in your life.

　　Often people take drugs because they are unhappy. Maybe they have love or work problems. But drugs cannot solve these problems. There is no connection between them and drugs. People need to talk about problems, get advice and change their behaviour—not take dangerous drugs.

　　Taking drugs encourages people to make them and sell them. You are making a big social problem worse. Because of you other people may hurt themselves and die prematurely, even if you don't. You make the world a worse place.

　　Finally, please remember: addiction grows. The first time you need just a little crack cocaine, but every time you will want more. You cannot control the drug; it will control you.

　　Please listen to me—and say "No" to drugs!
