Health Class Project on Drug Abuse/alcoholism/suicidal Thoughts?

Question by Diba Gordafkan: Health class project on drug abuse/alcoholism/suicidal thoughts?
So I started this project today (assigned Monday) and it’s due on Friday. My title is: Can Alcoholism and/or Drug Abuse lead to suicidal thoughts?. I’m using Google Docs presentation and I’m suppose to have 7 slides. So far, I have 3 slides, and they’re pretty much the title , what is drug abuse/ alcoholism. I need help! What else am I suppose to do? I’ve literally been at my laptop just staring at the screen for an hour. My brain is not cooperating with me >.< Please please help! Like, maybe some suggestions on what my other slide(s) should be about? I need some ideas thrown at me. That's how I start thinking. Thanks so much. Best answer:

You need government statistics on suicides caused from drugs and alcohol abuse:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6648755

That will take up one or two slides.

Then show the chemical effects it can have.
http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/AA77/AA77.htm

Then show some examples of famous people who committed suicide because of drug use.
Example:
Marilyn Monroe
Micheal Jackson
Kurt Cobain

I think even Jim Carrey suffered from alcoholism and depression

You can even see if there is a link between career types and drug abuse.
