How to Stop Drug and Alcohol Abuse at My High School?
Question by Kaysie Dorn: How to stop drug and alcohol abuse at my high school?
In the past 6 months, there have been 10 deaths in my community (high-school aged teens) related to drug or alcohol abuse. Ten lives have been lost because teenagers chose to make horrible decisions and the worst part? Their friends and family never gave them the help they deserved. A month ago a girl in my English class was found dead at her friends house after overdosing. A week ago a couple guys in my speech class were talking about drinking and driving after parties and they were actually serious when they admitted to each other they had drove drunk several times before. My older brother, now in college, admitted to driving drunk while he was in high school.
Students need to be aware of how their decisions affect others, and friends need the support to help their troubled peers and set them back on track. Deaths due to drug and alcohol abuse affect the entire community. These teens are the future of America: the next doctors, businessmen, lawyers, and maybe even presidents. Yet their lives are being lost before they can contribute anything to their country.
What are ways I can share this with the kids at my school? There is already a SADD program (Students Against Destructive Decisions) but it is small, cliquey and ineffective. I need a program that will involve more students and help to save lives. Any ideas for a school club? Would it be possible for a minor to establish a non-profit organization? Thank you for your help!

Our country will never get rid of drugs or drug abuse, that is just the honost truth. Im sure your fellow students know about the deaths, yet continue to use. Honostly you can’t really do anything. Im not sure about the Non-Profit Organization, typically a person just gets arrested and ordered into treatment which they are forced to pay for.
