Why Drug Education Classes Are Important

When my son became a teenager, I worried about him hanging out with the wrong kids at school or getting involved in activities that were illegal or not suitable for his goals in life. My son has always been a good child and has never been in trouble for anything serious. However, when he started high school, I wanted to make sure that he would be aware of the consequences of using drugs. I spoke with his football coach about this and he told me that the coaches had decided to hold drug education classes for the whole team. I loved the fact that the coaches were having these classes because I knew that if him and his friends learned about the dangers of drugs, especially how drugs could impact their athletic performance, that the kids would not want to do them. My son came home after the class and talked to me about everything he learned. He said I did not have to worry about him doing drugs because he saw how people who did drugs landed in jail, lost their families and even died.
