[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happen to JUST SAY NO and the DARE PROGRAM ?

My DD will be a freshman next year, and they never taught her about JUST SAY NO. Say NO to drugs, SAY NO if a strangers ask you for drugs.  say NO if someone gives you free durgs.

I taught her about how dangerous drugs are and I just hope the school system would've done the same, like they did with us.   [/quote]

I grew up in the era of the DARE program.  I think the major flaw of that “just say no” messaging is the underlying assumption that drug dealers are out there trying to push drugs on you for free and it’s up to you to “just say no.”  People sell drugs for money.  No one wants to give away their product for free.  Your friends may peer pressure into trying their drugs, but in general strangers are not trying to give kids free drugs like DARE tried to make you think.[/quote]

So much of it was fear mongering to bolster support for the war on drugs. So ridiculous (and ultimately so sad). [/quote]
