Extractions: TEENS AND DRUGS D rug use among teenagers in America has become a national nightmare. The 1996 PRIDE (Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education) survey estimates that 1 in 4 high school seniors use an illicit drug once a month; 1 in 5 use weekly; 1 in 10 use daily. Drug use among teenagers is at it's highest level in 9 years! Drug use is responsible for a high number of school dropouts, teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, crime, suicide and death by drug overdoses. In Plano, Texas, over a dozen teenagers have died from drug overdose. Because today's drugs are far more potent than they were in the past, teenagers can become addicted more quickly and overdose more easily. W hile parents may say, "I trust my child wouldn't lie to me about taking drugs," the reality is, drug abusing teenagers lie. H ow can you tell if your child is taking drugs? "A Parent's Guide to Prevention" published by the US Department of Education says: "Young people use drugs for many reasons that have to do with how they feel about themselves, how they get along with others, and how they live. No one factor determines who will use drugs and who will not, but here are some things to watch for Low grades or poor school performance Aggressive, rebellious behavior

How Can We Enable Children To Live a Drug-Free Life? Drug Prevention Is a Shared Responsibility In the 1980s, there was a steady decline in the use of alcohol and other drugs among 12- to 17-year-olds. After a decade of significant progress, however, a recent survey indicates that this downward trend has leveled off for some drugs, leaving the rate of alcohol and some other drug use in the United States still high. The reasons for drug use are varied. Children may use drugs to satisfy their curiosity, conform to peer pressure, relieve anxiety, or have an adventure. But, whatever tempts them, we must teach children to reject drugs because drug use is illegal, harmful to their health, and interferes with academic and social development. Drug information programs, while important, cannot stand alone as a deterrent to drug use. Current literature has focused on a "holistic" approach to preventing drug use. A holistic approach emphasizes a prevention strategy that takes into account the wide range of forces that affect children's lives. Parents, as the prime nurturers of their children's development, play a prominent role in preventing drug use. Schools, communities, social service organizations, religious groups, law enforcement agencies, the media, and local businesses also play vital roles.

Extractions: BBC NEWS News Front Page World UK England ... Talking Point Monday, 20 May, 2002, 06:47 GMT 07:47 UK The parents of heroin victim Rachel Whitear believe she would be alive today if Britain had adopted The Netherlands' more liberal approach to drug use. Following a trip to Amsterdam, Mick and Pauline Holcroft said they were impressed by that country's openness about drugs and called for a massive overhaul of Britain's laws. The couple, who published shocking photos of 21-year-old Rachel's body after she overdosed, also supported cannabis cafes for breaking the link between drug users and street dealers. Following their visit to The Netherlands for an ITV1 news programme the Holcrofts praised the availability of immediate help in that country for those with problems and said the same approach in Britain could save lives. Mrs Holcroft, from Withington, Herefordshire, said Britain should have learned from the Dutch approach to drugs. She said: "I have to think there's a far bigger chance that Rachel would still be with us. "I'm obviously very saddened that if Rachel had had those opportunities, she may still be here."
