It is usually friends or classmates who introduce drugs to young people in the first place. You should understand that they are not real friends who care about you.


You should resist the pressure and temptation and say no to drugs.


Refusal Skill (1): To say NO directly

Refusing drugs firmly and directly, e.g., "These pills are addicitive. No, thanks!"


Refusal Skill (2): To say NO using an excuse

Getting away from a situation where you are being lured to take drug, e.g. "Sorry, I have to go now!" and "Drugs are not for me. Thanks!"


Refusal Skill (3): To say NO with a counter proposal

Changing the subject by suggesting some other activities, e.g., "These drugs will ruin your life. Why don't we go to the cinema?"
