Over 700,000 starting High School this week will find ready access to every illegal drug - from friends. Every classroom is affected whether teachers realise it or not. Some pupils are suffering after effects of drug-taking almost every day.

Other books include Futurewise , The Genetic Revolution, The Truth about AIDS, The Rising Price of Love and the Truth about Westminster.
