Help! Im homeless, jobless and pregnant - Should I start doing crack?

Question

Okay - Im kidding but why is it that ppl who are in unfortunate situations do self destructive things they cant afford to do.

Answer 1

LMAO! Nice intro. :D That cracked me up.

Anyway, the weak tends to ease their pain so they resolve to destructive solutions possible.

Answer 2

I believe it's usually because they have low self-esteem. They feel as if they're failures, and have dissappointed every one around them; they figure, "What do I have to lose?" I used to do a lot of drugs, but then I had a child. She was the best thing that ever happened to me and she gave me the unconditional love and acceptance that I had always longed for. I had dropped out of high school, but after I had her, I went back and obtained my GED, then went on to Community College and then a University. I am now a teacher. I work with Severely emotionally disturbed children. Could be I chose this field because I have an understanding for them. People need to feel a purpose in life.

Answer 3

Because they either don't have the opportunities necessary to change their situations or they can see the opportunities available to change their situations or the pain is too great - the issues, circumstances, and dysfunction that got them there! You choose only a certain group that handle their problems this way! Please don't be so narrow minded! Rich people that live in fantastic homes choose drugs like crack and destroy themselves just as much as other members of society! Be informed before you choose a group to make fun of!

Answer 4

That's a really good question. One simple answer I know for sre as a known fact. People that feel horrible about their life tend to want to self medicate. They starts to experiment with illegal drugs and eventually find their favorite one(s). The true reason, though, drgs and alcohol helps them escape from reality. Drugs and alcohol affects our brain and senses in such a way that they inhibit or enhance certain sensations making s feel good, but only temporarily. So, what ever happens to you don't ever do drugs to escape that's not the answer. If a person neds help he/she should seek for of ask for help. It's really simple to just ask for help.

Answer 5

Dear Fallen Angel, To answer your front ?, No ,on the crack because it will hurt your baby. People do self destructive things , to cover the PAIN they are feeling from results of bad choices they have made...Crack is CHEAP. Claudia

Answer 6

i think that if you are in a bad situation sometimes u cant see a way out and the only way of forgetting about it is to drink take drugs or somthing so u can escape from the reality if only for a while. i dont think people consiously do self destructive things its just the only way they can see of deal with it.

Answer 7

It takes the pain away. Imagine if you were in that situation. Emotional needs come before physical needs when you're in that sort of depravity. And even if it's not long-term, it takes away the immediate pain which can be so overhwhelming as to mentally cripple the individual.

Answer 8

I think they are in the state of mind that they dug themselves so deep into a hole, that there is no use putting the effort through to climb out of it, so they just dig deeper, it's sad but unfortunately true.

Answer 9

People self medicate, they try to take the pain of life away by drinking or doing drugs or whatever they can get ahold of, in extreme cases they just end it all...

Answer 10

Good question. Many folks are looking for the easy way to enjoy life. Too bad, there's only a short, temporary reward in that. Then you crash and burn... possibly screwing your life up for good.

There's a better way. Seek and you shall find:
