Meth ad (parents)
Parents is a short ad by the meth project. This advertisement is about how meth can take you over and change you into someone you're not.It shows us that meth can make you lose control. In this ad the lights go on in their house the parents aren't so much arguing but the mum wants to help her son. Her tears are streaming down her face because she just wants to help him. The young teenager is addicted and obviously needs help but the father won't let her do anything, as he has gone too far and is already addicted. The son is banging on the door screaming “ come on dad let me in come on dad” he then starts yelling “I'LL KILL YOU” you can obviously tell that he is angry and out of control.
There is also some sort of a voice over in this ad where the boy is saying “ so I get along with my parents I mean they are pretty cool and i know they trust me” but sounds like it was before he started doing meth this shows us that he did love his family and they were close but somehow meth got the better of him and now the trust between him and his parents has gone.
An important lesson I have learned from this ad and possibly something to take into consideration is that meth is such a powerful,controlling drug and can ruin your whole life. for example in the ad you can obviously see that he is out of control at by the way he is yelling a kicking at the door. Meth changes someone’s whole appearance from being such a beautiful intelligent and honest person to being someone who you can’t even recognize, someone who steals from you and shows no respect.
For me as a teenager I have realized that meth is a drug that can turn your world upside down and change you into someone you don't want to be. for example in the ad you see the anger and rage on his face a clear sign he wants more drugs but cant as he has no more money. In one part of the advertisement i felt sad for the parents having to lock their son out of the house because he is to out of control for example in the ad the mum is crying her husband comes in and hugs her they walk out of the living room and turn off the lights. This has also made me realize that not a lot of people are seeking for the help they need if you know someone who is taking meth you need to help them out before it gets too much and they get to addicted, in theses advertisements it shows that addiction can take over fast. Teenagers nowadays need to think before they do anything like this, most of them don't even know what they are taking let alone what it will do to you say no to it and make sure your friends do the same. Say no it's not that hard
Nice writing Monique. I presume you were looking at the effectiveness of the ad as well and that your response means it was effective? You write very well.
ReplyDeleteYou were clearly quite impacted by this advertisement, Monique. I agree with you that it's so important to think it through before doing something like this boy did. To make sure you pass this, could you pop the examples from the ad into the paragraphs where you wrote your responses?
