A cautionary tale...

By now you may of heard about the tragic story of Isobel 'issy' Reilly, 15 years old. She died on Friday, almost a week ago. Some of you will point fingers and blame people who aren't really to blame, because what happened that night was a mistake...and it could have happened to anyone. Issy went to a close friends house party, probably looking forward to Easter as all of us were, with kids possibly from 14-16. With no parents around they partied and got a bit drunk and had fun, and then sometime before 4am the host, two boys and Issy went to find some weed that they thought was hidden somewhere in the house. As they were looking they didn't find weed, a soft drug, but pills of LSD, ecstasy and ketamine, which are extremely harmful. The kids didn't know what exactly these pills were, but thought that taking them could add to the fun. After taking one pill each and feeling no affect, Issy was brave, or naive, enough to take another. With these sorts of drugs the affects are strong but do not have an immediate affect. The second pill was too much and Issy had a heart attack and died at about 4am on saturday. The ambulance were immediately called and she was taken to hospital along with the three other people who had taken the drug. Doctors tried to resuscitate her but it was too late.

Don't let it be too late, think before you act, don't let anyone tell you your not cool because you aren't doing what they are, do have fun-your only young once!
