au⋅to⋅bi⋅og⋅ra⋅phy [aw-tuh-bahy-og-ruh-fee]: a history of a person's life written or told by that person.

Alyssainwonderland: I am a Journalism student with a passion for asking questions, people-watching and writing. I enjoy reading fictional work, biographies, and auto-biographies. Writers who inspire me the most are Lewis Carroll, Jacqueline Susann and Neil Strauss.
My interests include reading, writing prose, drawing, painting and horseback riding. I am an audio learner and music is a very important part of my life. I appreciate all types of music, and I do not believe that any music, movies, or art forms should be banned or censored. If individuals decide to make bad choices, then that is on their own account. The topic of my blog, which is the drug use of celebrities, is designed not to use stars as a scapegoat to account for the drug use of youths, but actually the contrary. I believe that it is not celebrity examples that drive people to drug dependency, and society should stop placing the blame on them. Why, instead, can’t we listen to what professionals, celebrities, and kids themselves, have to say about drug use, and see what the real reasons are that kids use drugs?
With my interest and research pertaining to celebrity drug use, and cases where stars have been blamed for drug related incidences in society, I will guide my readers in reconsidering what it is that should be blamed for youth drug abuse. This is not a blog, like most others, that points fingers at artists and actors who use drugs, and throws them into the spotlight to be used as a scapegoat and to be perceived as a negative influence. I will dig deeper into the habits of celebrities and youths, and provide professional inputs which will demonstrate that stars are not the reason that kids use drugs.
