[|D.A.R.E. in Schools]

 [|D.A.R.E.] may have some cons but it definitely has pros as well. The drug prevention program D.A.R. E. has been proven to help students say no in difficult situations including peer pressure. This program is popular with younger children as well as parents. This program enables [|children]to interact and get acquainted with the police officers. The police officers are just plain people who have decided to help children "Just Say No". Cops generally take care of things such us theft, speeding, domestic issues, etc. but in this case they also educate students about drug prevention. In 2007 the Canadian government showed that out of more than 5,000 kids 95% of them felt D.A.R.E. helped them decide against giving into peer pressure and using drugs in the future. Also 99% of more than 3,000 parents gave positive feedback when surveyed. The parents feel their children benefited from the program. Almost all parents agree with ad support this program. Everyone is in support of this program. This program provides students with resources they need to help them say no to the temptation and peer pressure of drugs. It is a proven fact according to a 2009 study graduates of this program who had used marijuana their 7th grade year reduced or completely eliminated the amount of marijuana they use by their junior year. Students who graduated from the D.A.R.E. program had a 5% increase in the ability to " Just Say No" compared to those who never had the opportunity to have this program in their school. D.A.R.E. provides students with more knowledge about the effects and consequences associated with drugs than the typical parent who teacher could give. A study was conducted in 2007 proving that students preferred police officers as instructors which could have a more positive impact on the children. Not one drug prevention program is 100% effective but D.A.R.E. helps students to make smart decisions about drugs in this drug-friendly society. The people who use drugs in movies, video games, television shows, or magazines are not always showed in a negative way, but the information they receive from this program helps them to understand the true facts and outcomes of what drug use is really like and what can happen. media type="custom" key="9065512" align="center"
