Project Summary Page
The purpose of this project was to
inform teens and their families the harmful effects of drug and alcohol abuse.
It also shows what those suffering and loved ones of those who suffer from
addictions can do to get on a better track to a healthier, happier life.
This video relates to multiple
Family and Consumer Sciences subjects and careers. In Foods and Nutrition, we learn that
a healthy body and mind can lead to great success in multiple areas of your
life, including sports, relationships, and jobs. Family relationships are a key focus in Family and Consumer Science and by helping individuals be aware of drug and alcohol abuse we can strengthen family relationships. Addiction counselors is just
one field that helps those in need find a way back to a healthy lifestyle
Around 38,000 died from drug abuse in
2010, which is unbelievable. 38,000 lives, ideas, friends, lost to something
preventable. Thousands more where left to mourn over someone so dear in
their lives. This project helps just a little by showing that no matter how far
you think you are from a better life, it is still possible.
Knowledge and awareness are some of the
first steps to become better, because without them, you would never think you
were doing anything wrong. If only one teen by is touched this message, than my
goal has been accomplished. To be aware, informed, and enlightened by the
negative effects of drugs and the positive effects of staying drug free is the
goal of this video.
