The story of a troubled youth

Here's a short story I wrote in 9th grade. I think the point was to incorporate specific words or phrases.

Frederick is a young man at the age of 12. Fred, as he is known, has been addicted to marijuana for a few months. Recently, Fred was caught smoking a joint of marijuana. He immediately ran away with his girlfriend before his punishment could get too severe. Fred decided to run to Mexico and soon changed his name to Frank there.

Frederick took on the name and identity of Frank in Mexico. The newly named Frank is sixteen and a registered pharmacist in Mexico. Frank took full advantage of his job as pharmacist by mixing drugs together and selling them as new drugs.

The Mexican police had just found him out when he was sold out of the mixed drugs. They did not have any criminal record on him so they sent him free. They were a little hesitant but few thousand more pesos in their pockets cleared their minds.

After a long day at the pharmacy, making and testing new drugs, Frank got unusually high off of one of the new drugs. He was convinced that his pregnant girlfriend was a chicken. Being very hungry, he thought he could cook his girlfriend. Before very long, he passed out and his badly burnt girlfriend rolled off the stove.

When Frank woke up, his head hurt and his hands were burned. He got up and looked for his girlfriend. He found a note and read it. It said, “I can’t stand you anymore. Goodbye.” Frank collapsed on the floor and tried to get up. When he couldn’t he took some pills out of his pocket and ate all of them.

Ever since then, Frank has been crazy. He began to believe that he had some kind of magical powers. He tried to make chairs explode at his house but every time he failed, he took incredible amounts of drugs. One night after mixed up a lethal drug that would kill instantly; Frank tried his work on a stool. After failing, he took his drugs and tried not to take the lethal ones. Unfortunately, Frank took the wrong pills. He died agonizingly about five minutes later. Nobody found him in a week, in a month, even within a year. Only when his bank account was empty and his bills unpaid did anyone go into his house. They repossessed his house and soon demolished it. He was never found in his house.
