Dear Deadmau5:

I’m a senior at Roaring Fork High School and I’m writing to you because the past two months I’ve been learning about ecstasy. I know you play techno music and have concerts that kids come to rolling ecstasy and other various drugs. I want to get the point across to teens that ecstasy usage can lead to severe brain damage and I thought if you announced it, people would follow your thoughts since you are someone they definitely look up too. One of the main appeals of ecstasy is loud techno music because it increases the level of happiness by so much. A lot of them were also diffident, and they like the fact that when they go to raves they're loved by everyone and it increases their confidence. Studies shown in 2000 found that 4.3% of
8thgraders, 7.3% of 10th graders, and 11.0% of 12 graders have all tried it. Since then our world has had more drug out breaks, and I know that those numbers have highly increased. Teenagers live for the moment and don’t think about long term effects which are what matters in life. Once one of my friends started doing ecstasy, then all of them got into it and now they rave every week. I don’t want to see them enervating their bodies and going down hill because of a stupid addiction. I want to grow old and I don’t want to be going to their funeral at age 30. If I can get someone teens look up to and appreciate to have a strong opinion against ecstasy I think we could really make a difference. If you have the time I’d love to hear from you but if not best wishes, I love your music sober.

Sincerely,

Kelly Fisher
