Key concepts covered in the session:
The following are messages we want students to learn through the seminar:
  • My feelings & peer pressure can be powerful – we need to stop and consider our values and responses.
  • All drugs can be harmful when used improperly.
  • There are many reasons why drugs are used.
  • I know how drugs effect the body.
  • Our peers & the media can be a powerful influence.
  • All people want to be accepted by others. Sometimes it’s difficult but important to learn how to say “NO!”
  • I know my values are important because they determine how I make choices, how I treat others and myself.
