What Do Teens Know About Illegal Drugs? - S3 E10

<p><strong>Drugs. Teens. Is it inevitable the two will meet? Or is that a stereotype of the past?<br> </strong>This week our hosts Naomi and Zoie have a conversation about drug use, focusing on medicine vs. illegal drugs, lacking knowledge and information, media influence on teenagers, peer pressure and social image, and other perceptions surrounding the topic. This week's guests, Sania and Mia, help process things with their own thoughts, and the four 8th graders ponder their own future before leaving younger listeners with recommendations for handling the decisions in middle school.</p> <p><strong>RESOURCES<br> </strong><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm">Youth Risk Behavior Survey</a><br> <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/infographics/youth/pdfs/e-cigarettes-usb-flash-508.pdf">CDC - E-Cigarettes</a><br> <a href="https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/what-we-do/industry-watch/e-cigarettes">Tobacco Free Kids</a><br> <a href="https://med.stanford.edu/tobaccopreventiontoolkit.html">Stanford Tobacco Toolkit</a><br> <a href="https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/underage-drinking-0">NIH - Underage Drinking</a><br> <a href="https://www.illinoispolicy.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-marijuana-legalization-in-illinois/">Illinois Policy - Marijuana Legalization</a></p> <p>Make sure to subscribe to keep up to date on our podcast episodes throughout the school year!</p> <p>Teaching insight, blog posts, and more from the Health Education classroom: <a href="http://lifeisthefuture.com/">LifeIsTheFuture.com</a></p>
