The Truth About Drugs
No one, especially a young person, likes to be lectured about what he or she can or cannot do. Thus, The Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides the facts that empower youth to choose not to take drugs in the first place.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), created this Web site to educate adolescents ages 11 through 15 (as well as their parents and teachers) on the science behind drug abuse. NIDA enlisted the help of teens in developing the site to ensure that the content addresses appropriate questions and timely concerns. Check it Out
Above the Influence
Every teen’s life is filled with pressure, some of it good, some of it bad. The goal of this organization is to help teens stand up to negative pressures, or influences. The more aware kids are of the influences around them, the better prepared they will be to face them, including the pressure to use drugs and alcohol. “Above the Influence” isn’t telling kids how to live their lives, but giving them another perspective and the latest facts.
