"I was 15 the first time I tried it. I was at my girlfriend's house." These words, spoken by a real teen in recovery, set the tone for this powerful video which recounts the stories of two teens who became ensnared in the dangerous and all-too-common worlds of cocaine and heroin abuse. Both teens describe step-by-step how they were sucked into trying the drugs for the first time, how they became addicted, and how incredibly difficult it is to recover from their addictions. Their harrowing testimonies will resonate with viewers and impel them to steer clear of cocaine and heroin. Program includes strategies for recognizing the dangers and avoiding these destructive drugs. A special section detailing the dangers of "starter heroin" is presented with a strong no-use message.
Includes: Video, Teacher's Resource Book and Student Handouts
"This excellent film does not provide easy answers about how to combat addiction, but rather tells two cautionary tales of how accessible drugs are and how they can impact the lives of young teenagers." - School Library Journal
