Say NO!

I learned in this presentation about 

bullying and not to do drugs. 

About bullying is that if you bully somebody that can come back to you in the future. And what I learned about not doing drugs is that it can get you and your family in serious harm.

If you do drugs you think you all that if you do drugs you won't have an education in school. If you are on the corner of a street and selling drugs you think you own that corner.

What else I had learned is that if you be in a gang crew, you can get in serious harm. If you are a young boy or girl you don't need to be in a gang and try to own your corner. You need to get your education and believe people was in a gang.

I remember one day my cousin was in a gang and now its coming back on him. That same day my mom got a call from my auntie and said, "My cousin is in the hospital - he was shot!" My cousin was on the hill with his friends and there was a car behind them with tinted windows and the windows were rolled down and a gun was sticking out of it. They shot my cousin in the back of his head. He stayed in the mental hospital for a month. He could not move, he was paralyzed for a month.

Now he is out of the mental hospital and doing much better. He is out of the gang! He has a job!

I am so proud of him for becoming a better man in his life!

I thank the speakers - Leo, Devon, Yannik!
