Ugly Truth Entry

This is my entry fot the Ugly Truth Contest.
When I read about the contest in the journal I commented "Both my parents smoke and I have always hated that. Seeing the ones you love coughing their lungs out everyday. But that's not the worse part. Last year I had a really bad cough and It wouldn't go away. I felt like i was having multiple ASTHMA attacks everyday so i finally went to the doctors. The doctor gave me some med. to make the coughing go away but said that it was from second hand smoke, and if my parents didn't stop smoking around me that I would have lung cancer by the time i am forty. I hate it when people smoke and don't see why anyone would want to hurt their bodies like that. I'm going to try my hardest at this so wish me luck. "

Well, some of my friends smoke too, I'm not trying to offend anyone out there that smokes. I have nothing against the people that do. I just don't like it, and it hurts me physically and mentally when people smoke around me. I have to hear and watch people I love coughing out thier lungs then take another breathe of the poison. And I know that there is worse out there, probably in our food or somethings. We cant avoid all the things that are bad for us. But people know that smoking is bad for them and they do it anyways.

I try not to make my mom fill guilty for smoking but she got kinda sad when she saw the picture i was drawing...I know she's tried to stop, and I know it's hard. But I know that people are strong enough to stop, they just don't want to stop enough.

This is the first contest I've entered on here. I've always seen all the great artist on here and thought that i never stood a chance against them But I like the cause so i'm entering it.

Thank you for reading this and looking at my picture, and i hope you have a wonderful day.
