It's a sad world that we live in when a celebrity is willing to risk their life in order to occupy themselves, and their bucket-loads of cash. And no, I'm not talking about sky diving, I'm referring to the recent drug epidemic that is engulfing the stars of today.
At the start of the week, it was revealed by the media that model and singer, Sky Ferreira had been arrested for the possession of heroin, along with her boyfriend Zachary Cole Smith. Ferreira, who is just 21 years of age, had been due to perform with Vampire Weekend this Friday prior to her arrest. While her performance is still going ahead, the fact that she was willing to risk such an opportunity in order to "get high," raises questions on whether or not she deserved it in the first place.
That's not even the worst of it.
On Wednesday, I was informed that former Disney actor, Zac Efron had been admitted to rehab for substance abuse. Having never once heard his name and drugs being mentioned in the same sentence, I assumed that he was admitted for alcohol. As it turns out, the young heartthrob has been struggling with cocaine addiction for the past two years, unbeknownst to even his closet friends.
Thankfully, Efron is getting the help that he needs, and hopefully, he'll be on the road to recovery, sooner rather than later.
I still haven't come to terms with the recent death of GLEE star, Cory Monteith. A beautiful, talented guy who had his whole life ahead of him, killed in an instant by a bad decision that he made when he was young.
We only get one chance at life. Cocaine, Heroin, E, and all the others will still be around long after we've gone. Don't make the wrong choice.
To all the people that say drugs are "harmless," "cool," and "just a bit of fun," who are you trying to convince? Me, or yourself?
