TEXT OF DRUC EDUCATION PROGRAM FULL-PAGE ANNOUNCEMENT
Melhourne THE AGE in Engliah 1 May 79 p 14
['Pext] "How can we talk with our kids about drugs3"
There's a good chance your child has more contact with some kinds of drug use
than you have. Perhaps you should know more about the types of experiences
your children could encounter.
Fact 1. Drugs won't gu away.
Ignoring the problem won't make it disappeax. I7rugs axe a paxt of our soctety.
Chances are your kids are coming into contact with them right now. Don't make
the mistake of saying, "It can't happen to tqy kids. It can. It may have al- _
ready happened. The worst thing you can do is pretend it won't.
Fact 2. You may not agree with your kid's point of view. But you'd better
- listen to it.
Too many adults think that ta.lking with their kids is the same as talking at
them. Talking with someone entails a responsibility to listen to what they
have to say in reply. It may not be something you agree with. But if you're
going to communicate with your kids on drugs or any other subject, you have to
hear their point of view. You don't have to agree. You do have to respect
their reight to an opinion.
Fact 3. You and your kids need some common ground.
Your reaction to drugs could be an over-reaction. Remamber, your kid has
probably seen what happens when people, including adults, take drugs. The
fact is, not all drug ta.kers turn into mindless zo;,ibies who froth at the
mouth. Try to frighten your kids off with that sort of story and they simply
won't believe you. You will lose credibility. So talk from some common ground,
based on understa.nding.
Fact 4. It isn't the end of the world if your kid's using drugs.

There are reasons why kids usQ drugs. Because they're urihappy. T3ecause t,hey ~
feel inadequate. Strangely enough, these axe the same reasons a lot of aa�its
use drugs. Often the same drugs. Like alcohol, tobacco, arialgesics.
Kids wi11 use drugs because their friends use them. Because friends �te11 them
drug-taking is an enjoyable experience. 5uch drug use frequently causes prob-
. letns .
Uriderst,anding. Not myths. That's what you need when you talk with ,your kicis
about drugs.
Fact 5. Ignore the problem and you could be to blame. ~
There may come a day when your kids ask you about drugs. When that day comes, ,
you'd better be sufficiently interested to be able to discuss the subject in a
meaningful way.
If you tell them not to use drugs, and give them reasons that they know ar.en't -
true, don't blame them if they ignore you. Blame yourself.
If you want help, if you don't know how to begin to discuss drugs with your
kids, contact the National ITrug Education Frogram. It's been esta.blished to
help you with any informa.tion or advice you need about drugs. If you have
any queries, conta.ct us. _

As his demand for the

'rhe gtudy covQred 30 mgle gCudents, Chree of whom were married. `Cheir

belonged Cn the medical faculty Were dtvg addicCe. IC was easier for ehege
students ta prdcure drugs becauge they were attached to hoepitals. Thny
Werc aware uf the reaction the drugg could have on the human gystem. 'Cticy
could algo get drug$ from chemiste an production of prescriptiong.
Next cgme the laa gtudentg who formed 277, of the boarderg. The study
Could not give a plausible reason as to why go many gtudentg belottging
to tite law faculty had taken to drugs.
The study listed a number of causes behind drug addiction. 7'hese werc
frustration and failure, anxiety, family maladjustment, boredom, to get
a"plpasant experience," to show their friends that they did ttot observe
gny taboos and finally, to concentrate on their atudies.
'Phe addicts confessed that they got more pleasure in taking drugs "in
the coapany of others." It Was obgerved that "unhappy childhood has no
important bearing on drug addictian" since 28 of the 30 students had no
problans during childhood.
It was revealed that addicts were uare interested in synthetic drugs tttan
in cannabig, such as charas, ganja aad bhang. Drugs were talcen in the
fom of pills, cigarettes, paan and injections, procured from friends,
- Cea shops, restaurants, chemista and "pushers and sellers."
