D.A.R.E A Learning Opportunity By:Hailey Webber Do you know what D.A.R.E stands for? Do you know that drugs and alcohol are bad for your whole body? Well in D.A.R.E the officers teach 6th graders just that before we make a bad choice. In D.A.R.E the officers teach us many thing but they make it fun and amusing. We watch videos about each lesson that we learn. We have packets that we fill out and have weird situations. We learn that DARE means Drug, Abuse, Resistance, Education. It also means Define, Assess, Respond, Evaluate. I've never used the DARE decision making model before I learned it in DARE. Sense then it has helped me a lot. I’ve learned that I don't have to let others control me instead I could walk away and tell a trusted adult.
In DARE, we learned a lot of information about how to deal with bad situations in our lives. I plan to use the strategies we learned in DARE
Safford School District, like many school districts, has a policy strictly prohibiting the use, possession, or sale of any drug on school grounds, including prescription drugs, without advanced administrative permission. Students in violation will be subject to removal from school property and will be subject to prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the law.Students attending school in the District who are in violation of the provisions of this policy shall be subject to disciplinary actions in accordance with the provisions of school rules and/or regulations. Safford is like many other public schools where it finds itself on the front lines of a war against drug abuse among students. As such, Safford has firsthand experience with some of the trends in this area that are by no means unique to its community. With students beginning to experiment with drugs at a rapidly earlier age precisely middle school. the abuse of prescription and over-the- counter drugs has become more prevalent because of the relatively easy access to these drugs and a prevailing notion that they provide a “safe” high. As a result of student giving out over the counter drugs one boy who took the pills had a bad reaction and became seriously ill leaving him several days in an intensive care unit.
In my mind, I can clearly remember being a part of D.A.R.E program in 5th grade. I remember that we did myriad of various activities and short performances that would help us say no to drugs, tobacco, and alcohol later on in the future. Then when it was graduation time, we presented little plays to our parents. So, when it becomes to be that time in the future when being pressured I will be able to apply that information I learned your side. So why not take some time to help students of TMS now? Would you want to see our kids go down the wrong path? Well I wouldn’t. With this program’s help, we can teach kids how to live a healthy and a happy life by saying no to peer pressure, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. to the situation I am in,
Do You know what L.E.A.D. stands for? It stands for Law Enforcement Against Drugs. Over the course of the L.E.A.D. program I learned the effects of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. I also learned about how to handle peer pressure and set goals.
A growing problem in today’s college culture is binge drinking and sexual assault. More and more teenagers in college are becoming sucked into this idea of drinking to get drunk. While the legal age is 21, it is not realistic to attempt to eradicate underage drinking from college campuses. However, the dangers of binge drinking can be catastrophic. And for parents, especially female parents, their greatest fear is someone abusing their child as the send them away to college. In general, most underage kids will have a beer sometime in their college experience. About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall. Ultimately, receiving treatment can improve an individual’s chances of success in overcoming an AUD and asking for help is the first step. The stigma for asking for help as a weakness must be shattered, because in reality asking for help is a sign of strength. By asking for help and receiving treatment and awareness from the beginning, college campuses can take great strides to protecting its students across campus.
Children, starting as early as elementary school, are being educated on substance abuse. As of 2013, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, D.A.R.E., administers a school-based substance abuse, gang, and violence prevention program in 75 percent of the United States school districts. Since 1983, 70,000 police officers have taught the D.A.R.E. program to approximately 114 million elementary through high school students in the United States alone ("Is the D.A.R.E. Program Good for America's Kids K-12?"). This program is aimed at preventing drug use in elementary, middle, and high school students. A needle-exchange program implicitly encourages the exact opposite message, condoning immoral and illicit behavior. Governments should focus on discouraging drug use, providing more productive treatment for recovery, and punishing drug users instead of supplying the materials to continue their addiction. Young children have the potential to take more risks and must receive a clear message on drugs, which should coincide with the no tolerance policy they are being taught in school with implementation of the D.A.R.E. program. A needle-exchange program is more of a hopeful harm reduction campaign that sends the wrong message to young children and society as a whole. If there is to be a positive change in America regarding intravenous drug use, then the government and school programs all need to be on the same page; we
The first important topic we learned about in D.A.R.E was on drugs and alcohol and how not to abuse them. We learned many important things, such as the effects of drugs and alcohol on the mind and body and how a great number deaths occur
DARE is a program that educates you on the dangers of alcohol, drugs and other things. Some things we discussed in DARE were being stressed, finding help networks, and having good communication.
Dare talks about reasons to say no to drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. I learned about the dare decision making model define assess respond and evaluate. Officer Morris told about the five W’s of reporting bullying. We read facts about what drugs ;can do to affect the body Dare has taught me reasons to not do drugs, tobacco, and alcohol.
Many think the program D.A.R.E (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) which was created in order to have a long term effect for drug abuse prevention actually works. But does it actually help prevent kids from using drugs? Solid evidence shows that the program doesn’t work.
Programs that talk about drug and alcohol prevent such as D.A.R.E is funded by this committee. This committee is also responsible for the educational needed of students in the juvenile justice

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program known as D.A.R.E has become a very widespread and popular program throughout the United States. The program appeals to all ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic lines, which is a large part of the reason why the DARE program has grown exponentially. The program’s basic premise was meant to introduce kids to the danger of drugs, before the drugs got to them. The implementation of the DARE program appeared to be what America needed to begin to put a dent in the war on drugs.
School –based drug use- prevention programs such as DARE, Project Alert, and Life Skills Training program have been designed to keep kids from illiciting drugs.

The 17 week program components are learning refusal skills, teen leaders, making a public commitment not to use illicit drugs. Also, affective education components include: self-esteem building, alternatives to drug use and decision making. Research on the effectiveness of
