Drug Abuse

I am a Filipino volunteer with Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO, www.vso.org.uk) work in an organization called Friends of the mind or FOM (www.friendsofthemind.com). FOM is an NGO in Peshawar in the North West Province of Pakistan, for the welfare of the mentally ill and Government Mental Hospital Peshawar (GVP) and in the fight against drug use / abuse. If they have not already, I would find someone in a photo-documentary film King of documenting the lives of teenagers experiencing abuser. The subject (s) can tell visually, but "adjusted" clean up, as their lives become confused on how hard each day to show addiction.and to fight a couple of losing this battle. Has the subject (s) to make clear that each student audience, this could be them if they cross the line and become addicted to the use of illegal substances. The U.S. has a program called DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education - see link below) was very popular at the time that "Just say no to drugs" campaign was published by Nancy Reagan and the other program is gradually being replaced in many schools. Fifth grade class my daughter will be the last graduates of the program in our area. Your question does not indicate what grade level or age of the students are in school. In essence, it is easier to influence students. In the older grades, the children have expressed opinions, or were influenced by their peers. The problem with the DARE program is that it is difficult to quantify the effect. Children was affected in a positive way to stay away from drugs and alcohol, because of the education he received in elementary school? program was expensive to continue, and resources were limited. But I think talking about drugs and alcohol is an important step in helping children to develop their own opinions. The things they learn is not often discussed at home without assistance from DARE and other programs, these children are victims of negative influences, I wish you all the best! Actually I saw it on television.It may seem a bit necromancy, the young people who died because of drug use did in their coffin before the funeral of their schools, where all the world can clearly see the negative results of doping. There are many good resources for training on the dangers of drugs. Videos and books telling you straight, honest man is always good. But you need to consult with all the myths that people have heard of, delete and answer any questions they should be prosecuted. A scheme where they can go and talk more / learn in a pleasant environment will also help. Good luck .
