My Essential Question

How can I portray the addictions to and withdrawals from addictive substances to the community and my peers in such a way that they realize the dangers of the addictive substances?

Why did you select this as your essential question?  What excites you most about finding the answer to this essential question?  Do you feel that this question accurately reflects a desire/need that you have to find out more about this topic?

After seeing the painful process of detoxification from substance abuse at my mentorship, I have realized that many of my peers are headed toward this outcome in their lives. Substance abuse is so prevalent among my age group and in this community. I feel that finding the answer to this question will not only benefit me, but also benefit others that see it. Substance addiction is a problem that has a solution, but to be able to prevent it would eliminate the problem in the first place. It can cause huge problems, financially, emotionally, relationally, and physically. I think if people can see the problems that addiction causes and the process  one has to go through to get over the addiction, they might reconsider the choices and decisions they make in these areas of their lives. I'm really excited to begin working on this project and see how it turns out.
