Parents, teachers and responsible citizens share the universal
belief that children, teenagers and young adults should not use street
drugs. This conviction is enshrined in the drug free philosophy.
The philosophy is basically an ideal to which young people
are encouraged to aspire. It rejects the depressing and disheartening
notion that drugs are a normal part of growing up and that young people
can be taught to use them in a responsible way. (This principle also
includes the use of alcohol by minors).
Adolescents should never use psychoactive mind-altering drugs. Not
only do they alter the character and personality of the individual, but
the process by which they are formed.
The aim of the Drug free song is to unite all schools in a positive
and creative way. We encourage schools from all over the world to
communicate and share. We hope they will demonstrate to each other
their interpretation of the song and use this as a starting point to
reach out to the other in a spirit of tolerance and understanding of
'peace and harmony'.
Take up the challenge.
We can make a difference.
We encourage you to:
Seek patronage from a prominant citizen in your town or country.
Seek sponsorship from businesses that are youth-oriented.
Seek support from the media in the way of publicity. Every
School has an opportunity to interpret the Drug Free song in a unique
and individual fashion that tells the world about their school and
lifestryle.
