Something Can and Is Being Done about Drugs
There is really no need to let kids go down the road to self-destruction through drugs.Ever notice that the increase in so-called depression parallels the amount of drug abuse in society?
Here's an example of what I mean from the Good News blog

Look at those kids. Aren't they magnificent!They are elementary school children from Taiwan, and they are taking the Drug-Free Marshals pledge.
Back on my soap box, I guess, but here's a personal story.
My younger sister was always so bright and capable. I admired her so much when we were growing up. She started drinking when she was 11 and started smoking dope when she was 13.
Of anyone I know, she probably posessed more talent and potential. And although she was a bit withdrawn and shy she had a really good disposition. But drugs changed all that.
One day I realized that she had really become vicious. I couldn't trust her any more and she absolutely refused to let me help her. And so that was that.
But even people who do make it and succeed in their careers -- they aren't exempt from the destruction of drugs. Just look how many artists are wrecked by alcohol and drug abuse.
Every time I go to a Scientology event and hear David Miscavige urge Scientologists to do more to help their friends and their communty I think of people like my sister, and how wonderful it would have been if someone had gotten to her before her "cool" friends did.
