Wow Ustwo, lol
And see analog, I agree and disagree again. Scare tactics pissed me off, especially when I was of the age that this wouldn't mattered. It was like "honestly, you're going to draw a correlation between this drug and everything single bad thing arent you." Even those "responsibility, my anti-drug" commercials piss me off. It's like no.. you aren't going to guilt me into not doing it by showing me all these far-fetched horror stories of what COULD happen. The first meth commercial on the website that I watched with the girl in the shower, I was like "WTF?" that doesn't even do anything but piss me off.
So I agree with you there.
However, it isn't peer pressure education that would have stopped me. I would have been just as pissed if someone tried to teach me that I shouldn't listen to my peers when they advocate something bad for me. I had that down.
The only thing that would (and did) help me is to see the ACADEMICS of it. Show me the effected parts of the brain; show me the serotonin changes; show me the sympathetic nervous system response. Show me what the heart does or how the blood pressure changes, and tell me about the problems this causes.
Not doing something because "my peers are pressuring me, but I shouldn't because it's bad" would never work for me. I think "peer pressure" education would be educating you on just how bad it is. Then when they offer you meth, you can tell them exactly what it does to your nervous system and why you don't want it. And in the process, you might convince someone else that it's not worth doing themselves. (Dare to dream)
