Assignment 10
I think the best way to handle or prevent the use of drugs among adolescents is education. First, educate the students about the risks of drugs and the future problems that can occur from using them. Many other people mentioned DARE programs. I think that another key is parental education. Parents of adolescents need to be aware of the signs that their child is using drugs and be taught how to deal with the situation. In my town, the police force is very, very willing to work with parents and teens to not only discuss but solve issues dealing with drugs. I think the more education and information is out there and the more parents that hold their kids accountable for their actions, the less kids will use drugs.

I like the point you made about parental education. Too many parents are oblivious to the fact that their child is using drugs. If they were aware of the signs, drug use in teenagers would most likely decrease.
i agree, educating kids about drugs is the best way to try and prevent them from using drugs. DARE is an awsome program
