I do agree that education is the key to all of this. The DARE program is great and I've worked with them in the past. Reinforcing what is learned, not letting it all slip away is also important. When I was a kid they told me that if I tried cocaine it would kill me. Fact is, it could kill anyone the first time through, but when it didn't kill someone I knew, well, I began to believe the adults were lying. Telling the honest truth and allowing teens to make their own educated decisions is a good way to approach it. Thanks for the post.
