I like the little slide-y thing. I thought they were all good facts. The peer pressure was the best one I think, Dimond freshman Jade Rickard said. Another pointer includes how to tell if your teens are smoking. Overuse of breath mints and deodorizers may be one sign.
Veal is especially glad to see the signs of depression and suicide included in the slide rule.
The slide rule is a reminder of how easily life for teens can spin out of control before parents have time to react. A lot of things, the kids are already set in their ways. They ve already formed habits. They ve got things going on. Lind and other parents involved in this project admit this effort is more feel good than anything else, but if just one of these slide rules falls into the hands of the right parents at the right time, then maybe it ll be worth it.
