In America more people are dying everyday from overdosing. It's not only a problem in adults, but in teens, and young adults as well. Usually when you visit larger cities it's easier to see people struggling from drug addictions because of the mass problem usually found within the city itself. Then I was curious in how photojournalism does connect to the opioid issue in America. I have picked the following pictures to show things that journalists have found that contribute to this issue that have moved me in a way that hopefully can help people struggling, and want to reach out for help before it can become too late. If you're reading this then it isn't too late to get help.

This is a picture of a mother who had overdosed next to her child in a store. I share this to show you are important not only to yourself, but your children as well, and there is hope, and help.

This was a picture from a part of a video where people rushed to save people who had allegedly overdose. I show this photo to hopefully show awareness to how quickly your life can change from using, and that yet again, it isn't too late for help.

I shared this photo to show how quickly drug use can spiral your life. This woman had unfortunately experienced the effects of meth, and hopefully has turned her life around because she deserves a second chance. The use of photo lighting shows the effects on her face of how meth reacted with her body. It is a before and after picture of a timeline of somebody and the effects of drugs on their body.
I hope these photos can help people find it in themselves to get the help they need, or even reach out to somebody.
Photojournalism is used to capture the opioid crisis to stop it in its tracks. By being able to see pictures of people that were affected by drugs you can even see for yourself how dangerous it really is. People get pictures of overdoses on the most gruesome scale to prove a point of what kind of situation can happen from even one drug use. Photojournalism captures opioid events as well that involve people on drugs robbing others, or stores. People that become homeless because of drugs, and even epidemics in which people run away from home because of drug use, or get kicked out because of drug use. Photojournalism helps get the word out, and stress to people why it isn't worth it.
