Into to final

Marissa Ann Napier was a high school student at Highline High School. She was 15 years old and had tried marijuana and LSD before. She had a lot of friends and was an active person. She baby sat for her neighbors. She was very well liked in her school. She was at a party one night and she tried MDMA also known as ecstasy for the first time. After a few hours she started to go into convulsions. She was brought into the hospital and was in a coma for a little over a day. She never recovered from the coma, Marissa died from anoxic encephalopathy. Her brain was not getting enough oxygen due to the MDMA intoxication. Death from MDMA intoxication is rare but in does happen. The death rate is going to keep growing because the rate of use is also growing. If kids are not aware of the effects and what the consequences can be, the deaths are going to keep going up.

Wha can be added to make longer. Is it interesting enough?

Many kids now are afraid to use drugs like marijuana because of the risk of getting arrested. So now they have discorded house hold products that can get them high. They call it huffing. This is a web site that tells about deaths caused by this and the risks of doing it. This article shows the consequences of what these drugs can do to any one. Even using it once can cause death. The tragic things that happen to kids needs to be shown so others know not to use them.
This web site shows that one use of a drug can cause death. The girl in the web site had used other drugs before. Then she tried Ecstasy once and was put into a coma. Soon after she died. Ecstasy use is growing among teens, and if they don't see what it can do to them the use is going to keep growing.
