It encourages a lifestyle free of these substances and it calls for young people to avoid the abusive behavior that accompanies the drug-related lifestyle. For KNX listeners, the message is clear. If you are a parent or an adult, spend a moment today talking with your kids or a young person about the dangers of drugs. Tell them that drugs are a lie. They destroy lives and devastate families.
Drug abuse erodes public safety because it is often linked to crime.
Tell them that most of their classmates do not use drugs and that it is not simply a big city problem. Remind them that recent studies show drug use among teenagers is on the decline. But that it takes a personal commitment to avoid this plague. Then give our kids the best lesson possible. Be an example by staying drug-free yourself.
