I see a lot of kids ranging from 8 years and up who, at-one time or another, have dealt with drugs or alcohol. I find it so sad to watch them wasting their lives on something that could very likely kill them before they are even out of their teens.

Also found in the car with the dead woman was this written message: "Jail didn't cure me, nor did hospitalization help me for long.
