SECURITY

Security is something most people are concerned about. We hear the shout to secure our borders. We see security signs in the yards of many homes. The government spends mons upon millions to secure our nation. We have locks and alarms in our cars and houses. We do this for peace of mind.

In a short video highlighting the dangers of drug abuse, a boy says to his friend, “I feel bad about smoking pot. But I’ll feel less bad if you do it with me.”
