Plan your strategies

Today constable Julie came to room 23 for our second DARE (Drugs Abuse Resistance Education).

First of all we talked about strategies for different problems such as what to do if I have a headache, feel worthless or my friend is taking drugs.

Then we started talking about how friends can effect the game of life and what qualities a good friend has. "Like attracts like!"

Afterwards we started to talk about why young people start using drugs. We got some EXCUSES such as being depressed, peer pressure, being curious or NOT THINKING!

Next we played a game called "beep". In this game we had to get everyone across a maze of squares without touching any bad squares and learn from our mistakes.

We learnt to make strategies and thank constable Julie for taking time to come to room 23.

Are you a participant in the Game of Life?

We had a great first session with Constable Julie today.

We started by focusing on getting involved in discussion, share your ideas, get involved, be a player in the game of life!

We then brainstormed all the types of drugs we know of and discussed what we would like to find out about drugs.

Later, we brainstormed all the positive things about being our age - using every letter of the alphabet!

Finally, we shared some words of wisdom - proverbs to live life by.

What a great first sessions, we are really looking forward to tomorrow!!
