I need to know if my sons attitude is related to his meth addiction
Impulsive, bad sleep patterns will be awake for days on end, excitability, loose interest in things that they use to find entertaining, dramatic decline in physical appearance, repeats motor activities, complains of chest pain ( in EMS we call it methacardia) its not cardiac related.
BRAIN amp; BEHAVIOR equips viewers with an understanding of how meth changes the brain and, consequently, behavior. 3D animations, accessible ...
she met this guy who uses and they hit it off now she is an addict herself but won't admit it. i kept her problem to myself up until today when her cousin called me with concern of her behavior i told her cousin everything i know and i feel bad about it but at the same time i feel like her family should know. was it wrong that i said anything or should have i just kept all the information i know to myself? also apparently they confronted her and she called me a liar and i think they may believe her.
Glad to hear you care about her... So don't feel bad about telling her causin. All you can do is just letting her know that you will be ready to talk when she is ready to quit… there is really not much you can do except wait on the side line and observe…
Her dip shit boyfriend will eventually get caught (hopefully she is not there when it happens). It’s sad to know you can’t do much when it comes to intervention but meth will slowly but surely mess up their lives. The main point is being there for her when or if she decides to quit if you still care about her.
FYI- Meth users are liars 70%-100% of the time.
I have my paper here done and i did some of my editing, but it doesn't run smoothly. So, i need some experts to help me to with the sentence structures in this paper. Thanks!
This is what my research paper looks like:
CRYSTAL METH
Youth Shelter Worker reports “kids on crystal just lose it, break things, do property damage. They hurt themselves” (as cited in Hendley, 2006, P.163). Crystal Meth is also called methamphetamine which comes with different terms, such as Biker’s coffee, Blue meth, Chalk, Hot Ice, Ice, Speed, Crank, and many other meth names. With these various names, meth has the shape that is “clear, chunky crystal” (CBC, 2005, paragraph 1) which contains two quick-to-bond methyl (CH3 or methane with a hydrogen atom removed) hole (Langton, 2007). When it heats, it will begin to dissolve into white, yellow, or even pink powder (Street level consulting, 2008). Crystal meth did not exist until the Second World War from 1939-1945. It used to distribute among many soldiers for fighting off drowsiness or exhaustion (Langton, 2007). By 1950, people such as athletes, dieters, and college students began to use crystal meth. For example, athletes used it for gaining strengths for a better performance, dieters used it for losing weight, and college students used it for all night study session (Schleifer, 1999). Gradually until today, some adolescents begin to use crystal meth in the rave parties. Other than adolescents, gay males, people in rural, and the people in the bath houses also use crystal meth. Sometimes, crystal meth can be seen in some locations such as clubs, empty houses, streets, and home. According to 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, it reports “at least approximate 10.4 million of American teens who were aged twelve or older used meth at least once in their life for recreational use, representing 4.3% of the U.S. population in that age group” (Methamphetamine-addiction, 2008, paragraph 1). Most adolescents involves within the drug issue because it makes them feel hyperactive, ecstasy, judicious and beautiful (Schleifer, 1999). The addicts feel energetic and addictive after taking meth is because a stimulant which “increases the levels of two neurotransmitters, nor epinephrine, dopamine, and stamina” (Ramon, 2008, paragraph 4). Any meth users, who become addicted, are very likely to have violent behaviors, loss of appetite, depression, disorganized life style, hallucination, numbness, insomnia, increase of heart rate, fatal kidney, and lung disorders, as a result (Schleifer, 1999). Even though the meth has caused the users to have negative effect, some treatments would help the addicts to recover. One of the treatments that might be able to help the addicts is to attend meth rehab program. This program is not only does it help the addicts to detox, but there are some support groups can “provide with knowledge on how to change [the addicts’] lives and how to live comfortably without meth” (stop meth addiction, 2008, paragraph 1). Another treatment to support the meth users is to take pills which are given from a support group. The pills work like an antibiotic that remove any meth drugs inside the users’ body. This treatment is mainly looked for immediate physical symptoms (stop meth addiction, 2008). Crystal meth becomes an important issue which causes much harm to adolescents and adults mentally and physically. To prevent from anymore of these serious problems, adolescents should be taught to understand about what is crystal meth and its disadvantage use on human body.
Honestly, I read the paper and it has a lot more work to be done. If I edit this paper, in its current form, it will no longer resemble a paper written by you. I think you might want to try to take a deep breath and re-read it very slowly and see where you are missing the subjunctive "that" and where your sentence structure is not very solid. Take it sentence by sentence. You may wish to choose different phrases to make the paper appear less "oral" and more "written." This draft of the paper just seems very rough to me and you will need to do more of the work on your own before asking for help. Once you have it in a more complete format, I would be happy to help you. Good luck.
Tonight while in the store, i noticed the cover of a magazine that said something like "Britney's Addiction to Crystal Meth!" andi read the article and it says that "meth" is the reason for her "strange recent behavior" and it says that she has been doing it for 3 years now. I don't believe this is true! She is just having a mental breakdown but she can't be that low to be addicted to meth!!!
She's better than that.........
"crazy gal" i care!
if i didn't care about her i wouldn't have posted this question.
if you don't care then why the hell would you even bother answering this question????
With Britney, anything is possible!
Personally, I would guess acid or ecstasy but meth is possible since it's been going on for awhile and acid wears off and isn't addictive. Plus meth seems to be the "in" drug right now.
ignore im at school and i need this at home so plz jus ignore

Also, you should look up amphetamine psychosis.
Is this for a school project or are you considering doing meth? Good luck on your project and please don't do meth. It makes you ugly and stupid and you will never be the same as before.
Uncomfortable photos, self-destructive bbehavior/b division - The b.../b
On page A13 today, we published a news story from Mexico City about Mexico’s decision to decriminalize possession and use of “small” amounts of pot, LSD, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine. The full story is at the bottom of this post.
What angered one reader, however, was the use of this photo with the story:
Here’s what the reader wrote to me in an e-mail:
1. I think this is an issue of the reader’s comfort level with the picture. It’s real life and I think it should be covered. I have the same issue with hiding the coffins of war dead returning to this country. People need to dwell in the real world and not one that is filtered. That’s not the work of the media. There is a difference, however, between sensational pics and those that convey reality and contribute to a story. 2. After reading the article and viewing the photographs I will say that I would have chosen photographs which did not depict the actual use of a drug.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) released a list of over 6,000 studies it will be supporting with funds from the stimulus package, also known as the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). While the vast majority of the research is related to neuroscience, genetics, or diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis, there are a handful of funded scientific studies that involve sexuality.
This set off alarms for some, including the , Tory Mazzola, spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, was quoted as saying that funding research is an inappropriate use of the stimulus funds: “Because stimulus was sold as a new investment in infrastructure. It was sold as job creating. It was sold as a new way forward for America.”
On the surface it may seem shocking to some people if our tax dollars are paying for “sex” research. Others believe that we should not discount scientific freedom, intellectual curiosity, and the fact that sexuality is a vitally important aspect of being human. Yet when we look further we see that this research is not sexy at all. All of the NIH approved studies include a statement of the , and all of these statements are available to the public on the NIH website . Most involve work about HIV/AIDS.
