Think of all the drugs and alcohol you consume/inhale. It's a damn shame.

The 10 year old version of you is very upset and probably stomping on your Tamogachi.

I didn't like the idea of getting up in front of all the students and staff and doing some dumb dance.

How does that raise drug and alcohol awareness? All it ever did was make me want to try them back then so the dances and shit would be entertaining.

D.A.R.E would have had more of an impact if they had brought in say cancer patients who smoked, alcoholics who told their horror stories, people who had ODs because of drugs and/or family members who lost people to drugs.

Give extreme examples as to why you shouldn't do those things. Actually make an impact on young minds.

I believed it as a kid, but learning about how much misinformation they put in there as I got older ruined its credibility. Perhaps giving kids the actual facts doesn't work because they don't understand them, but giving obvious lies damages their credibility when people become teenagers.

I don't know if I would attribute my lack of drug use to DARE or not, but I haven't ever done drugs and don't even drink. Those pass times have just never appealed to me.

A few turbulent experiences of abuse in church and school led me down a path of skepticism that passed through the realization that D.A.R.E. was bullshit. Unfortunately, D.A.R.E. being bullshit didn't mean that drugs and alcohol weren't problematic, it just meant that I was denied the proper tools to deal with them.

Same, I don't remember much about DARE other than being glad to not have to do regular school work, but I've never had any illegal drugs or alcohol anyway, so...?

I rarely drink and have never been drunk or high. Not so much because of dare but just seeing the impact it had on friends and family.

The DARE cop in my town was a serious douche and he didnt make a positive impact.

He basically said, dont smoke pot or drink if you want to be like me!

Everyone promptly took up smoking and drinking.

I'm not sure it really failed me. It's Drug Abuse Resistance Education. I don't abuse drugs. I've used a few over the years, but use does not always mean abuse. I've never had any addictions, and any drug use I have engaged in was a cautious and somewhat educated decision.

It didn't but I never took the program seriously in the first place. It was extremely hamfisted and poorly done.

That being said, I didn't need a program to tell me anything, x.x . There's been plenty of drug/alcohol abuse in my extended family and I know how everything turned out.

I've tried to smoke pot before but I could never get high. There's something weird with my body where I need to take high potent edibles to feel anything. That being said, I can't have *anything* now that I'm on a transplant list so that's the main reason I don't touch it at all anymore.

Alcohol is similar. I need to drink way more than I'm comfortable with to even get a buzz so I just don't bother. It just ended up working out really well with me that i was relatively "straight edge" by the time my medical issues came up.

Its kind of funny because my mother was constantly smoking up my whole life due to her own medical issues so I just never really cared by the time I was a teen and everyone was getting into it and then when I didn't feel anything from it I cared even less.
