I am a DARE GRADUATE
Dare means: Drug Abuse Resistance Education |
|
Click here for the Official D.A.R.E. Website The program taught me Ten Things Kids Can Do To Stop Violence
|
Settle arguments with words, not fists or weapons. Don't stand around and form an audience when others are arguing. A group makes a good target for violence. |
|
Learn safe routes for walking in the neighborhood, and know good places to seek help. Trust feelings, and if there's a sense of danger, get away fast. |
|
Report crimes or suspicious actions to the police, school authorities, and parents. Be willing to testify if needed. |
|
Don't open the door to anyone that you don't know and trust. |
|
Never go anywhere with someone you don't know and trust. |
|
If someone tries to abuse you, say no, get away, and tell a trusted adult. Remember, it's not the victim's fault. |
|
Don't use alcohol or other drugs, and stay away from places and people associated with them. |
|
Stick with friends who are also against violence and drugs, and stay away from known trouble spots. |
|
Get involved to make school safer and better-having poster contests against violence, holding anti-drug rallies, counseling peers, settling disputes peacefully. If there's no program, help start one. |
|
Help younger children learn to avoid being crime victims. Set a good example, and volunteer to help with community efforts to stop crime. |

DID YOU KNOW?
|
Smoking accounts for one-third of all heart disease deaths? |
|
The two most damaging chemicals found in cigarettes are tar and nicotine? The major cancer-causing chemical in tobacco smoke is tar, and nicotine is as addictive as heroin or cocaine. |
|
The risk of developing cancer is 10 times greater for smokers than for nonsmokers. That's what you call a bad risk! |
|
Smoking causes 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths, and lung cancer is the No. 1 killer in women? |
|
People who smoke one pack of cigarettes a day decrease their life expectancy by about six years? |
|
Tobacco companies spend over $3 billion every year on advertisements that glamorize smoking? |
|
Smoking hurts your lungs and can cause respiratory conditions such as emphysema, bronchitis, chronic coughs, and a sore throat. Smoking makes it hard for a person to breathe. |
|
Tobacco companies need to recruit 1,200 new smokers every day to replace those who have died. |
