So, if you didn't guess my topic is drug abuse. Drugs are not only harmful to yourself, but they intern are dangerous for those around them. I mean it really hurts the abusers too, they pull teeth out, scratch skin off, jump off buildings, have braincell loss, and an addiction which leads to crimes such as stealing for money and the next high. It just has a ripple effect. Starting in the drug users own circles, it hurts their families, friends, classmates. It hurts the families, because it alters moods and causes the abusers to do really stupid things and they shirk responsibilities within the home, causing strained relationships. The friends, because no matter how many cool friends do it with them, they are still setting a horrid example. The classmates, everyone knows who abuses the drugs, in a high stupor the abusers could potentially harm their classmates by driving them around, or involving them in their crimes. They don't even have to know the people they hurt, the person they hit while driving, or beat up because they thought that they were a crazy colored pinata. The biggest issue that I find with drug abuse, is drug abusers with children. They are hurting their children. I have seen poor little crack babies, heard horror stories about mothers boiling their children's feet...it goes on. Life is only about their next fix. Nothing else.
The audiences to address would probably be the drug abusers themselves or the age just under the age most kids start abusing. 12ish maybe? You can maybe influence the abuser to realize that life isn't really that bad and do the same for the young kids. Just curbing what causes people to run to drugs is a big help in their life. I feel like this issue is relevant to all people, everyone knows an abuser.
The genres to reach the audience could potentially be short stories, allegorical stories, poems, songs...there are lots of ways to reach people.
