There's never going to be anything more powerful than a student accepting responsibility for their lives. This is the main goal of substance abuse prevention programs. Students who are empowered to make better choices can alter their own lives and could change the lives of other students who are around them. With this in mind there are ten strategies that people can utilize to make better choices for themselves.
Don't be afraid to refuse to.
We worry about negative reactions from peers. Even though you might believe that you are not the only one, not all are taking this approach. Some people are actually waiting and hoping for the one person to say no so that they don't have to be left alone. Don't let other people decide your future. There is no need to justify the reasons you are doing this. Simply go away. That is your right. Look at this site to get additional hints about teen drug abuse.
Join friends.
Be aware of your friends you're with. Beware of negative peer pressure. It is much easier when you have groups of people who are like-minded. The more people you hang out with that make bad choices the stronger the pull is. There is no need to follow with them to be a good friend.
Stay connected to your parents as well as other adults you trust.
Teachers and parents can provide great strength and support for you. Whatever you are experiencing there are people who take care of you. They can help you if you make mistakes or help you make amends for bad choices. They are always available to help you even after all the others you have in your life are gone.
Have fun and do the things you love.
The more things you enjoy that aren't involving alcohol and drugs the better. Inactivity and empty lives are the main reasons that cause young people to seek to fill the void in their lives by alcohol abuse. Don't give up to the activities you enjoy to pursue activities that could hurt you. Keep your feet on the ground during the things that define you.
Be respectful of family rules
Don't let drugs or alcohol get between you and your family. As you age and begin to take control of your own life, do not forget who you truly are or what you believe in. Your family rules safeguard you, and can empower you when you decide to choose them for yourself. Talk to your parents about the difficulties you face in life and stick to what is appropriate.
Get educated.
There are many misconceptions and myths regarding the use of drugs. Do not believe the most inexperienced person in your peer circle who's using drugs. Be aware of the true effects of drugs. These facts can assist you in making wise decisions in your daily life.
Act as a role model.
Create an example. You are not only laying a foundation for yourself, you are also helping others understand the same. Nothing is more powerful to your acquaintances than seeing you making good choices. This can make a huge difference in your own life, and could even alter your acquaintances.
Make plans for the future.
Don't allow your circumstances to put you in a situation where there is no escape. Don't let others accompany you if they are driving drunk or breaking the law. If there is a problem, you should plan to to leave.
Speak Up.
Be accountable for your actions. Say something when you see your friends making difficulties within their lives. Let them know that you're sorry to see them crumble. Do not allow them to tell you that everything is fine. The truth must be discovered.
Bring help.
If you know someone who is in trouble with drugs or alcohol, get help. Do not wait. Get in touch immediately if in trouble. There are people willing to assist. Don't be on your own.
