Living in southern West Virginia where cultural norms often take precedence over healthy decision making, it has always been evident that a greater community-wide effort needed to be born to counteract the destructive decisions of various members of the community where I live, namely youth.
Attending a very rural high school with less that 400 students, grades 7 – 12, taught me a lot about the negative social norms that sprout from a youth’s home life.
