When I smoked with my family, I would feel so   16   and good that nothing else in the world seemed so   17  . I thought that smoking weed (烟草) was okay since many of my family members and people at my school smoked.  18   ever happened to them.   19   I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought   20   of it. At that time I just wanted to smoke. Then I began to   21  in school. I would   22   classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend   23   8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought   24   that marijuana (大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high (神智恍惚) was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get   25   cigarettes if I smoked those, but I don’t.   26   I have learned more about marijuana, I have   27   the amount of marijuana that I use. I don’t want marijuana to be the most important in my life. I’m not smoking every day, and not spending as much money. Since I have   28   on my habit, I am   29   more money. I’m ready to go back to school and do good, so that I can make myself  50  . Everyone is always saying how weed   31   your mind and how it solves problems. I think it only brings more   32  . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I’m not trying to tell you not to smoke, I’m just letting you know that marijuana can be   33   to your health, and   34   it may cause some long term negative (负面的) effects. Help yourself now, before it is too late. I don’t want to lecture anyone, just   35   my experience with you.

Susan Williams went to a boarding（寄膳宿）school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.

Dear Mom and Dad，

I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school headmaster is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste­paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste­paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The headmaster phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the firefighters arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The headmaster says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this.

Much love, Susan.

P. S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams, I just want you to know how bad things could have been！

I’m glad to find this comment which has some sort of support in this quest（寻求）I have to eat raw（未煮熟的）foods. I’m an unhealthy 49 years old and have come to the conclusion that it’s now or never, so I am taking a dive into the raw eating lifestyle.

I have to cook for my family and prepare what they want to eat. I’m trying to plan out this better so I have some of these unusual foods ready for myself.

I’ve read several books written by Ann Wigmore and like her approach to the living foods.

Last week I attempted fasting（禁食）and failed. I lasted five days by having carrots, spinach, apples and other vegetarian diets I could get my hands on. I was doing fine until I drank some coffee. I kind of proved it in my mind to have the coffee but it only made me excited and then I couldn’t sleep well and felt hungry and weak. So I stopped and went back to the old way of eating with the family.

This week I started to make a drink called rejuvelac made of sprouted wheat（芽麦）. This is fairly new to do for me and the drink smelled sort of musty（发霉的）and tasted kind of like a musty lemon. The kids tasted it and almost threw up but surprisingly it tasted good to me. It is supposed to help in digestion（消化）.

I’ve made some attempts to grow wheat grass. I think I have figured that out as long as I keep it away from birds and our horses. I have two habits to get rid of, drinking coffee and smoking. I quit smoking last month but something happened, so I started up again. I’m very frustrated(受挫的) with the smoking and really have a desire to quit for good. Anyhow I will keep this updated on my progress.
