1. Is bad for health! 23 – 30 % I guess

2. Rock music I guess. Because it looks like. I heard a lot of drug related lyric in the music lyrics
these days. They still provide good music in some way.
3. Is hurt sometime to see them doing drug because is bad for health. I means as long as they
stay away from me I guess is fine. But if I happen to meet one. I’ll try to convince them to
stay out of it.
4. As long as they taking drug the mental illness will never stop. Taking drug will make you do
the thing that you usually don’t. About my opinion, still stop that.
5. Yes, and I feel that is annoying. Because I know that is bad for health and try to tell them but
because they don’t see there is any problem yet so they just continue to do it. At the end
they don’t listen to you.
6. There is, for sure. That’s why we have millions of song out there to choose to listen. But my
experience with music industry is just I listen to music all the time and some news. No
deeper.
