Most of the times Teens get into the drug life because they don't know how to say no. They don't want to sound uncool and boring to there friends. Here are some ways you can say NO !
- Change the subject - If a friend is offering you a substance , you can chage the subject. Say " Lets go play basketball or swim !" . If you keep repeating yourself with a positive and confident response, the friend would understand.
- Straight Up say No - When someone offers you and you say "No!" right away. This method is not the easiest.
- Turn Away - You can say " No, I'm not intrested in those activities" and walk away.
- Terminate Friendship - If your friend in intrested in drugs and is trying to get you to do it , you could say "No I don't want to get into this stuff and if you keep doing them, we can't be friends". I'm sure friendship is more important than a gram of coke.
- Inform- Inform the person what drugs can do. For example " Hey wan't to snort some inhalants" " Did you know that can cause liver and lung disease ? Also it damages various organs and parts in your body. No thanks. "
- Think about the Future - Tell the user about the future and you don't want a horrible one. " My future , I want to go to school , have a nice career and family. I don't want to be living in the streets , stealing to get money to support my fix, no thanks."
I hope these tips and methods help you to say NO !
