This weekend I watched the movie “Christiane F. Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo”(1981) which is a true story based on Christiane Felscherinow`s life . This story is all about her experimenting drugs at the age of 12 to fit in a group of old friends .At 14 she was addicted to heroin and worked as a prostitute in the Bahnhof Zoo(it`s a Berlin train station) .
The story is so tragic and sad and made me aware how easy it is to become attracted to the “glamorous” side of drugs when you are young.I enjoyed that movie because I found it very interesting to see how teenagers can live like that and I thought drugs were disgusting and I`d never want to do anything with it .
The movie is absolutely brilliant, it captures the atmosphere of being young really well: wanting to wear your mother’s heels, going to gigs for the first time, wanting to have big boobs as your friend and falling in love with guys who treat you like shit.
Last Tuesday, my class and I had to present to the 3èmes a powerpoint explaining about some drugs .My group talked about the cannabis which lots of people have taken once or twice .
In my opinion, it went very well, we weren`t forcing them to not take the drugs, we let them know about it and it`s their choice whether the want to take it or not .
