They should know everything about the drugs, what they are and what they do. They should know why people become addicts. They should realize that there are a lot of upper-income families that are not willing to face the problem with their children. I want to see people realizing that people who do drugs are not lowlifes. I want them to know that most addicts do not commit awful crimes, some live in good neighborhoods, drive dpendable cars, make excellent grades ane are popular.
Many teens feel that there is something missing, a lot feel overwhelmed.

I was never taught that I may be tempted to have drugs for myself. Peer pressure plays a big factor, yes, but handling our emotions is difficult to. Maybe every student should have an expeiriance such as mine or maybe every student needs to know that there are better friends, or better ways to handle a problem, than drugs.
