Drugs are way to prevalent in our schools. They keep students from learning and from preparing themselves to become responsible and hard working adults. Drugs are a menace to society and definitely should not ever be found in schools. They prohibit students from contributing to society and instead they make them dependent on society to support them. We have the power to do a lot of good and to influence kids while they are younger and before they graduate, to help them know how to make good decisions. So what are some of the things that we can do to help kids and keep drugs out of our schools and away from our children?
One of the biggest things we can do is prevent the occurrence and take away the opportunities. Prevention is definitely better than recovery. Ways of prevention are to teach kids about the dangers of drugs and also the benefits. As they grow in understanding of these principles, they will know how to make the right choices and they will not get caught up in drugs. The dare program is a great program but I believe and think that we also need something or some kind of program in the High Schools so that older kids continue to learn about the dangers of using drugs and harmful substances and so they learn the the benefits and rewards of living a drug free life. The student who lives a drug free life is happier and makes a viable contribution to society.
Another way to get drugs out of schools is drug testing. This is mainly for those who currently use drugs. If we can locate users of drugs than we will be able teach and help and support those who are having troubles or problems with drugs. These tests would not be used to ridicule or harm students but rather to help and uplift them.
These are just some of my thoughts on getting drugs out of schools, which would be great for students and all of society.
