I have teenage boys - 15 and they commented yesterday that the school seems ot be taking a harder line on drugs - not that they have accepted drugs in school, but that in lesson discussions, the line has changed. In the past it woudl be 'these are the facts, drugs will harm you and can kill you'-including bringing in an ex-addict and a parent whose daughter died from an ovedose; now they are laying more down about the legal and financial consequences as well - it maybe just this year's mesage, but the boys certainly perceive a new approach.<BR/><BR/>Not sure how you get through to them though. They reckon that many of their year have already dabbled anyway - and stats suggest that too.<BR/><BR/>So far so good mine have kept away from all that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your writing.<BR/><BR/>Where can I read your poems?beanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255641123163751995noreply@blogger.com
