How has the problem of drugs and alcohol affected me?

 Because of drugs and alcohol my community is ranked as a bad neighbor hood. the reason why it was ranked so badly is because not only do adults do the drugs, but high school and middle school students do drugs. drugs and alcohol affect me personally because i have people very close to me that sell and abuse drugs such as marijuana, meth, and Oxycontin. this affects my daily life because i see these people very often. this is a problem in the pacific islands because it is one of the main causes for violent crimes and deaths. this does not affect only the Hawaiian islands, but almost every pacific island nation.life in the pacific would be different without this problem because there wouldn't be so much violent crimes and death in the pacific. other problems that will rise are more deaths, economy corruption, and violent crimes. the reason why i say that economy corruption will come from the problem of alcohol and drugs in the pacific is because here in Hawaii our economy is already bad and having a lot of Hawaii's people spend their money on drugs is not helping. this problem has changed my life by controlling the lives of people close to me. not only people in my family, but people that i still even converse with. Because drugs have taken over their lives i have lost family members and friends that i was once very close to. because of this problem i have seen a change in the people in my neighborhood who were once very friendly come to be no longer the same person that they once were. in stead now they stay shut in their houses and come out at night.
