I am really starting to get into this essay now as I get more research done. I am totally against stereotypes and things of that sort. In fact I have taken pride in arguing about it before. It is just so irritating. Just because a baby is born from a drug user doesnt mean that kid isnt going to turn out ok. I mean heavy users of drugs do cause high risk for brain damage and things of that nature, BUT even if a baby is born ok the statement below really says it all:
researchers found that the IQ scores of children born exposed to crack were the same as children who were not crack-exposed but who lived in a similar environment.
It's not just the drug part, it is where the kid grows up and what all they are exposed too. For example, when a kid grows up with an alcoholic parent they dont become an alcohol just because it's in their DNA, most of the time it is the fact that they have grown up always seeing that person drink day in and day out so it becomes a normal part of life. It is accepted and thought ok. Of course Cocaine is addictive but your not addicted for life. Think about it, babies dont know what the hell is going on. If they were born addicted and then recover, its not like that is all they have known to do and use because it's gone out of their system. Now I dont know as far as if they use one time it is easier to get hooked or not. That is some research that hasnt been done yet. I really do not know what to think as far as that goes.
