| Comment | Little late to the party but I agree with the comments left above. I'm sympathetic to a point, I can see how addiction can ruin lives and how easy it could happen to any of us. BUT, I like to think I wouldn't sink so low that I ruin other peoples lives while I was at it.
When I was 14, I was walking through Drumchapel (my home town might I add, place I've lived my whole life) and a junkie pulled a knife out on me at the back stairs on Belsyde Avenue. Robbed me of my cheap £30 phone, a fiver I had on me and my bag that my late gran bought for me. I've had friends too scared to leave their house because they have groups of them sitting outside their close waiting on the first flat to rob, people scared to let their kids play in the park because they leave dirty needles lying everywhere. So while I agree that more needs to be done to help them, I refuse to allow it to be at my or my families expense. |
