I'm 16 years old and I had no idea what meth was I used to watch my brother do it every night and he made it seem like it was the best thing in the world. I never wanted to try meth it made my brother look so bad and he didnąt even realize it. I tried and tried to beg him to stop but he just couldnąt give up the one thing that made him happy. My brother and my parents got into a big fight one night. My brother couldnąt take it no more he ran away that night and did so much meth he had an overdose. My brother was rushed to the hospital. As me and my parents rushed to the hospital and we looked at my brother laying on a white bed with tubes and machines hooked up into his mouth, all I could do was stand there and do nothing. My parents were crying and all you could see were nurses and doctors running towards my brother. Hearing machines beeping and knowing my brother was dead. The one thing that made him happy had killed him. And all I could do was stand and cry and drop to my knees knowing I will never have my big brother back. Knowing I will never see my brother again or hear his voice or feel his touch knowing my brother was gone forever.
