Finding Paragraph 1

I have found a lot of interesting information about parental drug abuse and the affects it has on the parents kids and family members.Looking through articles and trying to figure out which ones were best and most appropriate to use was one of the hardest, not to mention one of the most time consuming processes of creating my blog. One interesting fact I found was one in six children in school today are dealing with drug abusing parents (Leah Davies of WWW.Kellybear.com). Knowing this information really helped me answer my question of how many kids are affected by parental drug abuse today, and it also allowed me to focus on ways to help narrow this number down. Also, my question of what kind of drug has the most negative affect on a person; I felt was answered by the quote: Whether you’re addicted to nicotine, alcohol, heroin, Xanax, speed, or Vicodin, the effect on the brain is the same: an uncontrollable craving to use that is more important than anything else, including family, friends, career, and even your own health and happiness (WWW.helpguide.org). Lastly, the biggest informational text I found was in an article from "helpguide.org", which told me all about the signs, symptoms, and how to prevent drug abuse. I feel I have found a lot of valuable information and I feel I am making a big impact in stopping parnetal drug abuse.
