Club drugs aren’t isolated to clubs anymore. Drugs such as cocaine and Ecstasy are moving out of the clubs and into mainstream American schools where they are increasingly becoming drugs experimented with by middle and high school students. According to the 2008 Monitoring the Future study, approximately 62. 7 percent of eighth graders, 71. 1 percent of tenth graders, and 61. 6 percent of twelfth graders surveyed reported that taking powder cocaine occasionally was a “fantastic risk”. Additionally, approximately 82. 5 percent of twelfth graders reported that taking powder cocaine regularly was a fantastic risk. The risks were equally strong for other club drugs such as Ecstasy. In that same study, 66. 4 percent of tenth graders reported that they were at fantastic risk to use Ecstasy occasionally and 57 percent of twelfth graders said they were at fantastic risk to try Ecstasy once or twice. The fact is, perhaps more than ever before, children have immense pressure on them to try club drugs.

 

With the immense pressure to use these drugs and the surprisingly large numbers of teenagers who are using these illegal drugs, even excellent teenagers can loose sight of the danger of these drugs. In 2006, Cocaine sent nearly 550,000 people and Ecstasy sent more than 16,000 people to the emergency room.

 

So, how can you protect your teenager from the pressure? One way that many parents have found to help their children make the choice to say “no” to drugs like Ecstasy and cocaine is by administering an at home drug test. While this might seem like a weird correlation, it really is a compelling reason for children to say no. Your child might feel that simply saying no isn’t a very compelling reason to their friend who is keen to share drugs with them. Yet, when offered the opportunity to tell friends that they cannot use drugs because their parents regularly drug test them, the choice is much simpler. Your authority becomes much more tangible and far-reaching when your kids are able to tell their friends they will be tested. You can rest simple knowing that you are helping them to avoid one more temptation. Plus, you can have the peace of mind that your child is not using drugs.

 

Teens know a program is about prevention, more than anything, and lets them know they are not the only kid being drug tested.  A parent will have an simpler time approaching teens with a program and feel more confident because there is a plot of action.  It’s less about catching your teen, and more about prevention.  While other drug tests only deal with getting a result, the Drug Test Club offers advice, whatever the outcome, on how to go forward.

Event: Desh Mera Rangila Drawing Competition – A Gid Club Initiative Venue: St. Stephen’s ChurchThe students of GID Club organized a special drawing competition on eve of Holi for the children of St. Stephen’s Church. Children were provided with paper, colours, and stationery so that they can paint their dreams during the competition. And while the best painting was being judged, the dental camp was set up for these 35 students. They were given a dental report as well as tips on basic dental hygiene along with toothpaste. The results were announced and the best paintings won prizes. But no student went back disappointed as on the occasion of Holi they were gifted toys from Hallmark and then everyone loved their evening snacks organized by IIPM students.

Event: Medical Camp For Gidf ChildrenVenue: Nargis Dutt Nagar & Gyaneshwar Nagar25th Nov 2007 was a Sunday but by the time the teams (the group was divided into two teams for simultaneous work in both camps) arrived we found children already there in the school waiting for the doctors to come. Some were accompanied by their parents who were exited on getting the chance to finally get their children checked up. At 11a. m. sharp the doctors from Anjuman-i-Islam’s M. I. J. Tibbia Unani Medical College & Haji A. R. Kalsekar Tibbia Hospital arrived (2 per camp) and started the check up. The children made queues and patiently waited their turn. The height and weight measurements were taken by our team members and a small gift was given to the children. Each camp lasted for nearly 5 hours and a huge total of nearly 120 children attended the camp. The camp finished with a feeling of accomplishment that was unprecedented for all of us. The doctors also held a small workshop for the parents to educate them on the basic sanitation requirement for the children. The children and their parents went back with knowledge and recommendations for enriching their lives forever. The GIDF School in the heart of the slum stands as an oasis in the desert for the innocent kids. It fosters self confidence and a means to a life of dignity by teaching them basics and providing them a sense of normalcy in their chaotic lives.
