Young People Discuss Drug Abuse
In an effort to make teenagers more aware of the choices they have to make each year, MK Grammar School, whose body of students consists of 16 to 20 year old students, launched this prevention initiative.
Students from the school researched and interviewed other young persons who had fallen prey to drug abuse and the video consists of open and honest interviews with young persons who went to hell on drugs, lost friends and managed to become sober. All the time knowing that the addiction can claim them again if they make the wrong choice.
Smari Tarfur of Quarashi fame tells about his struggle with addiction and on the other side of the coin are young persons that have chosen not to smoke or drink and they relate the pressure put on them to try.
