Drug Problem in America

The Drug Problem in America


The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, ''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?''

I replied: "I had a drug problem when I was young":



I was drug to church on Sunday morning.


I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.


I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.


I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.


I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, didnot speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.

I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word .


I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields.

I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood;


and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.

Those drugs are still in my veins; and they aff ect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.

Re: Drug Problem in America

I've been drugged, I've been drug, I've even been drug while drugged, but I've never been drugged to a drugging by a drug. Anyone else out there with a similar experience?

Re: Drug Problem in America

Define kids.................it's like when i was growing up (some say i still haven't) 18 or so.....on your own. Make your own way. Now......it's like everyone has to go to college and it's just an extension of H.S. but worse. Much less parental involvement and at 27,28....their still kids !!!!!!!!!!!!! Party 5 nites a week. my kids still claim we're the only parents who "make" them work and pay their own way thru school. Hey i'm not goin'.....they are. What they need is new parents......go for it suckers !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is sad to see the disrespect of many people of all ages. I agree that there are alot of rude and disrespectful kids out there in the world today, but we need to remember that children follow the examples set by their parents and the adults around them. I think it would would be fair to say that we have many rude and disrespectful adults as well.
