Achievements & Drugs As most of us assume, students succeed and prosper through school to become something they 've always wanted to be. Unfortunately, many students begin to slack off of their school work and begin to fall in the wrong direction. Drugs take a high toll on students. Some use them to forget things or get a feel of calmness to ease them. Students may later become addicted to any type of drug they 've taken.
