[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the DARE program ineffective? I have a 5 year old and 7 year old so I have very little experience with these issues.[/quote]

They are ineffective, like abstinence programs, because they tell kids to say no to all the stuff they will all experiment with at some point. [/quote]

For me, and yes I know I'm just one person, the DARE program and sex ed worked on me like a charm. And I'm glad they did. I grew up in Arlington in the 80s and 90s.

Congratulations. [b]You are a rare, rare unicorn[/b]. Both approaches are well-documented failures.[/quote]

Actually, no. It was effective for my friends as well. It was simply a program that worked well with our personalities, I guess.

Also, I remember the MTV special on ecstasy in the mid/late 90's. I was in college. They did brain scans of ecstasy users and their brains looked like swiss cheese. That was even more reinforcement for me. I was offered ecstasy and other drugs in college and I declined every time. Didn't give a crap what anyone thought. The only thing I did was smoke weed a handful of times.

I guess they should have made videos about the bad effects of weed, too.[/quote]
