Transcript for the Piece Audio version of Teen Attitudes About Drugs

NARRATOR: Teen Attitudes.

YOUTH ONE: You want to say no to drugs and in another way you want to say yes.

YOUTH TWO: Some drugs do take away the pain. Drugs are hard to quit and everything, it's just, you know, you have to have the will power and all that, and they are bad for you. They'll get you kicked out of school.

NARRATOR: You're a musician. Drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Is that your experience?

YOUTH THREE: No. That's kind of a stereotype if you're a rock and roller. I think that 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. So, if you do drugs I don't think you're an evil person. I just believe that you made a bad chose. Drugs don't necessarily get you away from what you're trying to get away from, but you think that they will.

YOUTH FOUR: Like, some people they do it because they think it's cool. But some people do it because they are in depression or something and it makes them feel better.

NARRATOR: Voices of our Youth.
