User blog:YouTubeKorea/An Important Lesson

Alright guys, so for the first time in forever, I'm going to write a serious blog post.

You see, I have a friend. He's a good guy, and we've known each other since preschool. But starting from middle school, I guess he started to get a bit off-course. One day, he called me, and we talked for a while. Then he offered me a cigarette. I, of course, said no to that offer. I was a bit shocked that this friend that I have trusted for years can do such a thing. But I understood the differences between me and him, and we were still friends.

Well today, I found out in school that he was sent to hospital the day before. I found out later that my friend had gotten a serious case of Buerger's disease. If you don't know what that is, it's basically when the blood vessels are so clogged they stop working. Turns out my friend has been smoking for five years. The doctors say this is serious, and it may result in my friend losing his legs.

So I learned one very important lesson today, and I hope you do too by the time you finish reading this blog post: Smoking is bad. It's horrible. Even if you are curious, and even if a friend of yours offers one, you should always have the courage to say 'no.' I will remember this for the rest of my life, and I hope you do too.
