These things affect people down the generations.
It breaks my heart to think of young people taking, and getting hooked on drugs, but they do it to make life more exciting..... and we all know what kids can be like about trying new things.
If schools want to teach something worthwhile, they should let these kids hear about the awful side of taking drugs.
Three years ago I contacted the local comprehensive and offered to come in and let the kids know the down side of smoking ( my cancer was a type that smoking causes). I did it because I had seen so many kids in uniform smoking in the street, but the school never got back to me.
I personally approached a bunch of girls, who were smoking outside the supermarket, and told them of my experience, but in a friendly way. A few weeks later one of the girls saw me and came up to me to say she hadn't smoked one since, as she didn't want Chemo.
More kids could be saved from taking drugs, if we spoke to them like adults and told them how awful the consequences can be!
