Well i said that i’ve been wanting to try one because i was curious and i just gave up on life so we went back to her house (and my other two friends were just trailing behind) and she went to her moms room and stole two cigarettes and hid them till we were in an alley and she lit one up and smoked then she gave it to me and i tried it and i coughed and said i didnt like it then she took it back and smoked it again and i asked if i could try it again.

Sshe said ’sure’ so i took it and started coughing again so i stopped. i came home and my mom asked ’sami’s parents smoke right?’ i said ‘yes’ then she said ‘you werent smoking were you?’ so i said ‘noooo’ no way was i gonna get in trouble so i thought i was done.

But a week later i went over to my besties house and she stole two cigarettes from her sister the night before so we went into the woods and we each smoked one whole one i didnt cough once and it tasted good that time and when i finished i asked if we could have another one she said ‘no if we have another one we’ll be hooked and if you want another one it means your addicted’ i was shocked.

Ii didnt relize i could be addicted by just having one because the following weeks the only thing i thought was ‘cigarettes’ now that i stopped i feel less agitated and i realized my other friend stopped smoking too and my mom never found out.

I am only 12 and im pretty upset about being so stupid about even trying it. I hope people start realizing drugs and smoking are really bad. Thank you for reading my story alex<3
