- Description
- Richard is in Std 9. He sits in the same row as Thabo and Mike. They are his great friends. Every day at break they sneak out the schoolyard to go and smoke dagga. Richard doesn't like smoking. He wants to say no. But he is scared his friends won’t like him if he does. He doesn’t want to risk that. These are his chommies! They all watch soccer together and share secrets about girls. Maybe you find yourself in Richard’s position. You are also too scared to say no to your friends. Try to be brave and stand up for yourself. Tell your friends that you don’t want to smoke, because drugs are harmful. You may be surprised to find that someone else in the group agrees with you. He was just too scared to say so. Or maybe your friends will cut you out. You’ll feel lonely for awhile but others will come to respect you. We all look up to people who make a stand. It is hard to go against your friends. But you must learn to do what’s right for you. Arm yourself with information. Read, listen and learn. Then make your choice. Upbeat is filled with important information to help you make decisions about your life. In this issue read why Prophets of the City say No to drugs. Don’t miss our hot debate on sex education. We’ve got information on AIDS. So tell your friends about it and help stop the disease spreading. We all love listening to music. But do you know how a record is made? Find out all about the recording industry on page 17. That will really impress your friends! When they look surprised and say ‘how do you know all that’, just say you read it in Upbeat. You’ll be a winner at parties.
