2. Make a pact with friends to do the same. It’s easier if you have a group to hold each
other accountable.
3. Always have a plan. If you find yourself in a situation where there is alcohol or other
drugs, support your friends and peers. They might be using substances and need your
help.
4. Never let a friend drive impaired and never ride with an impaired driver. If you need
a ride, call an adult you trust or one you’ve made a pact with to get a safe ride home.
Even though you might feel like you’re the only one who is not using alcohol or other
drugs, studies show that two out of three teens do not drink alcohol and four out of five
don’t use drugs. We’ve got so much to look forward to in our young lives. It is time for
us to be responsible, take a stand, make good choices, and have a plan. We owe it to our
future selves.
