The second side is a danger to others. When the dependent person suffers withdrawal, it can harm others. Daily there are murders without any motive, when the addict simply deprives a person's life for the sake of money per dose. Foggy brain of such a person is unable to give the assessment act, and is a terrible crime. In addition, drug users are often deprived of life themselves.

It's the people, who are afraid to talk to children about "dangerous" topics (but drugs here is the sex, Smoking, alcohol) there are most likely to encounter grief in the family.
Notice to parents: don't wait for questions from their children, tell them yourself! The world does not stand still, and while you're thinking, that "too early", your child on the corner of the school drug dealer offers drugs to try for free. If you go with the kid down the street, when he 4-5 years, and I see a drug addict, boldly explain, what's this "uncle". It is up to 6 years you can affect the child, laying him in the head base "what is good, and what is bad". Don't be afraid to back up their stories examples, show photos and the Internet, watch movies.

Children at lessons of labour protection and life safety talk about, what are the consequences of drug use, show movies and educational videos.

It is important, so the child grew up healthy, happy and informed. There are teachers from God, who not only expertly taught your lessons, but also talk about the life. Tell your young students about, what drugs do with a man and maybe, you will protect his disciples from harm. In addition, be vigilant – watch out, to high school students for selling drugs younger guys, next to the school was not of Smoking. The most lush place this is the school toilets, dark corners in the school yard.
How to provide preventive information
There are a few important tips, which will be useful to teachers, and parents:
