If you have a small single connection to the Internet then you most probably know by now that troubled songtress Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment.

The intensely soulful singer was born September 14, 1983 and died on July 23, 2011. She was 27 years old. The cause of death is unknown. 

However, it's no secret that the soulful singer had an addiction to alcohol and drugs, as a result, overdose is thought to be cause.

Everyone that knew the talented diva always said she was a kind and loving person. She was also said to be one that constantly looked for love. She felt lonely, apparently. I for one, do believe she was an amazing person. However, just like everyone who knew her personally, I also think she was surrounded by horrible people.

I want to go into a rant about not giving into peer pressure but I'm not up to it. I don't feel like wasting my time talking about a stale topic that's always being discussed in school.

I rather talk about the lessons that resulted from her death. I would hate to sound cheesy but that's what I want to touch base on for a brief moment.

If someone you know is an addict, please make extra extra sure to help them out. Try to talk to them and help them want to help themselves.

I know it can be awkward or stressful trying to help an addicted friend or family member but you need to try! You need to try to help them out how every which way you can! 

You never know, you may lose that person next week in an overdose. Life is so precious and I believe everyone should feel the greatness of having one.

I know this news is late and this post is short but I just to give everyone a reminder to help out others. Life is so short, we should all live it to it's extent...
