I guess you need to ask yourself why your boyfriend is pressuring you to take an illegal, dangerous drug like ecstasy. When people love and respect each other, they don’t ask them to do things that can hurt them. So, the first thing you might do is re-consider your relationship with this guy.

Second, don’t do it.

Ecstasy is really dangerous. In 2000, 4,511 people were rushed to the emergency room because of taking ecstasy. This “club drug” can cause heart problems, kidney failure and a sharp increase in body temperature, which can all lead to death. Ecstasy also messes up your brain, causing memory loss and nerve cell damage.

And there’s no proof that it leads to better sex. It does reduce your inhibitions – the feelings that make you stop and think before doing something. But, that can actually lead to bad decisions and mistakes you might regret the next day.

Tell your boyfriend you don’t want to take the chance of hurting yourself or getting in trouble. If he really cares about you, he’ll respect your decision. If not, it’s time to move on.
