Hello Everybody :D
Today I am posting another interesting fact about my project. Please read through this article if you have time. I am 100% sure that this is true because I've seen a lot of people who haven't tried drinking or smoking in their middle school and it's easier to keep that in high school. So here it is :D
There is so much negativity around teenagers that it is a breath of fresh air to hear about a program that is making a positive impact. The Communities That Care program is one such program that is helping to stop the negative behaviors of smoking, drinking, and crime that, in media stories, are often shown to be linked to teens across the United States.
The goal of this program, which truly is community-based and led, is to help teens avoid alcohol and tobacco use as well as help stop them from engaging in violent or criminal behaviors. Research shows that when teens avoid exposure to these negative influences during their middle school years, they are much less likely to develop ongoing addiction and behavioral problems. This includes the use of tobacco and alcohol, where research now shows that avoiding use of these substances until after 18 years of age leads to much lower risk of their use as the teens move into adulthood.
I hope this was interesting to you. Please follow me on Twitter: @MoldirfromKZ and watch my video on Youtube which I'll be posting soon. Thank you for your attention!
