Freeper Canteen, Canteen Kids March 29, 2006 What I learned from the DARE Program

I am a DARE GRADUATE

Dare means: Drug Abuse Resistance Education

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.

There are some really cool D.A.R.E. cars.

This is the dare officer that I get to see. He's nice, and he loves us kids.
 

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.
