Drug education programs in public schools are (or are not) effective?

1. Drug education helps students become aware of the dangers of drug use.
2. Helps show students how the impact of drug use can affect the people close to them.
3. Teaches how drug use affects and damages the body.

    Many people who use drugs, often lose everything that they care most about. They can lose their jobs, lose friends, and in some severe cases of drug use, even lose their life. Drug use also affects your family life and you may become alienated from most relatives and close friends. Learning about the harmful effects of drug use early, may help deter young students from choosing to do something that they will regret. It helps students to be fully aware of the consequences of their actions.
