DID YOU KNOW:
Children of parents/guardians who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t, yet only a quarter of teens report having these conversations. Parents/guardians: You too can take the pledge! Take the National Red Ribbon Campaign Pledge now and be a part of the creation of a drug free American.
WHAT’S THE PLEDGE ABOUT?
1. As parents and citizens, we will talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse.
2. We will set clear rules for our children about not using drugs.
3. We will set a good example for our children by not using illegal drugs or medicine without a prescription.
4. We will monitor our children's behavior and enforce appropriate consequences, so that our rules are respected.
5. We will encourage family and friends to follow the same guidelines to keep children safe from substance abuse.
