other when it comes to
resisting peer pressure. Here
again, the approach to help-
ing the children works well
because not only do people ex-
plain the nature of peer
pressure, but they also teach
the students skills to cope
with peer pressure to use
substances including
resistance techniques and
methods of practicing them to
be effective in real situations.

EDUCATIONAL GROUP

Alcohol use is not a rite of
passage into adult society. If
adults convey their expecta-
tion that children will use
alcohol, children will con-
tinue to meet that expecta-
tion. If children don't experi-
ment, they won't become
regular users. The unam-
biguous message then is that
no use of alcohol or other
drugs is expected or accep-
table, in any amount, at any
time, under any condition for
children and youth.
