The writer plans to present the following argument to a group of teenagers.
Listen up. If you're thinking about trying out drugs, stop right now. The drugs available to teenagers today include some really messed up stuff. While it may not seem like a big deal to you, even using drugs once can cause you to become addicted for life. Of course, that's if you're lucky enough to get a clean drug. Some of the inexpensive drugs contain chemicals and other ingredients that can cause permanent brain damage. Studies show that one in twenty teens experience a significant loss of short-term memory after only occasional drug use. Posting a photo of yourself with a joint or a bong on Snapchat or Instagram may seem like the cool thing to do, but it's not. Stop and think about what you're doing to your future.
Which element makes the argument most appropriate for teenagers?
