Being bad Quote by Mufti Ismail Menk
“Trying out a bit of weed, a knock of crack, a quick cigarrette, a tot of brandy, a sip of larger or just going to check out what happens at the clubs & pubs is the beginging of a road that ultimately winds through the mountains of destruction! Even though many youth may not initially think it would do any harm, being promised by their peers that it is fun, the roller coaster ride they are in for is such that besides the lucky few who are flung out, the rest are stuck until they are overtaken!”
