Piece Description

An honest discussion between teens about drugs. MILES: "So you don't think that drugs and music necessarily go together? " YOUTH: "Not really, that's kind of a stereotype if you're a rock and roller? I don't think that you're a bad person if you do drugs because I think the only reason that you do drugs is to escape from reality and to just experience what it's like not to be stressed out all the time?

Drugs don't necessarily get you away from what you're trying to get away from, but you think that they will." Teen Attitudes is a new youth media club sponsored by the Intel Computer Clubhouse at the San Luis Valley Boys and Girls Clubs in Alamosa, Colorado.

YOUTH ONE: Yea, exactly.

YOUTH TWO: That's not true though. I know somebody who did drugs for since? They started when they were like 10 and they...
