Hi I have just formed a new project, called The Misuse of Youth, We are predominately about drug abuse but, were branching out to cover a whole host of topics that young people come across. Our motto is 'the key to prevention is education', we travel schools giving talks and opening up discussions using art, poetry and true life experience. We are always looking for new members to give talks or just raise awareness. I would like to talk to anybody who would like to get involved.

Drug Abuse
Throw your dirty laundry somewhere else. We ask that you don't curse or use other inappropriate language here (if you have to think too hard about using a word, you probably shouldn't). This is a forum for the exchange of positive ideas, not a place to gang up on others or make anyone feel bad. Feeling good is good, right? Yup. Also, for your own safety, we ask that you don't post personal information about yourself or where you live on these boards. Please follow these simple and important rules or you WILL be voted off the island. Okay, to clarify, here’s the…Don’t DO It Checklist (for our Message Boards):
- DON’T share personal or private info
- DON’T threaten fellow message boarders
- DON’T offend any specific race, religion, sexual orientation, or culture
- DON’T post or distribute sexually explicit, vulgar, or obscene content
- DON’T impersonate another message boarder, Do Something Staff Member, or anyone else you are not
- DON’T post copyrighted material or material created by others with out direct permission
- DON’T post advertisements for any goods or services
- DON’T post offensive material of any kind

Great!
And the tragic death of Heath Ledger brings to light the danger of prescription drugs when not used as specified. Perhaps your organization should take this opportunity to educate youth about the growing problem of the abuse of prescription drugs.
Great
Sounds like this should be a bigger project!

Maybe you could both create a website to share these types of stories...

in all honesty... i feel the
in all honesty... i feel the drug education programs (ie. DARE) currently in place are not particularly effective and i'm not sure if any program will ever be. young teens are curious and these adventures from curiosity is all part of a learning experience. unfortunately, many get caught up in it.
i just know that we went through a drug education program and years later everyone was experimenting with drugs and alcohol and that trend has continued throughout the years.

Im actually starting my own project at my school that is extremely similar to your own. I plan on going and talking to multiple advisories about my story with a drug adict and i am planning on hanging up posters and hangin gout infomational flyers. I would be willing to also help with your project if you need any help.
