Drug & Alcohol Abuse should not be portrayed as cool’ There would be nothing wrong with people doing things in moderation. The problem is these are addictive substances! Weather it be Chemical or Social Addiction it’s a handicap people could do without... Without the widespread "cool" portrayal we see in the media people would be more likely to come to the mature understanding that these things are to be used Sparingly OR Not at all! If we are really to enjoy life to the full instead of our mass culturel trend of people living to get wasted at the weekend...
Based on the current social acceptance & the principle that any publicity is good publicity! It’s currently fashionable for celebraties to be seen coming in & out of Rehab, portraying themselves as more of a mess than they actually are, making use of the publicity "a place in the spotlight!" There are genuine cases, but even these seem to turn it into more than it is. People with their resources are well capable making better attemps of hiding a few weeks of rehab when they want to. In reality ADDICTION is Not so "Cool" !!! It’s an enemy of the worst type, the type that creeps up on you stealing years of your life, Messing up family & friendships, And most of all Robbing you of your potential... The Media could do more to report on what this actually does to society as a whole. Those that use this style as publicity with no regard to it’s consequences on the young & influenceable deserve character assassination or infamy not fame!
