First of all, dare is a great way for kids and children to learn not to abuse, make wrong choices and all that. It is basically for kids but it can also help adults too. Kids can apply the things they learn in dare to there more mature and older lives.

D.a.r.e. abbreviates Define Asses Respond and evaluate.

It also is d squared m squared (ddmm). The dare decision making model.

This is Daren, dare’s mascot kind of.

There are rules you have to follow. They are Raise your hand(duh), be positive, observe, use “someone I know” when sharing a story, and finally only answer questions you feel you can answer.

They teach you how to make healthy decisions. Like… Your parents leave for a day and you have to choose whether or not to throw a party. How to choose between a birthday party or a baseball game or something. They also have you practice this on written down story problems.

They teach you facts about tobacco, marijuana, and alcohol. How they can hurt you in many ways and not to use them. Tobacco gives you cancer and also makes you look horrid. You also get colds and sickness a lot more including lung cancer and other harmful things that come from smoking and chewing tobacco. Over 400,000 people die every year from tobacco related causes. Marijuana users also have a high risk of cancer and also get sick an abnormal more times. They can also upper respiratory problems. The tar from smoking and chewing marijuana can kill you in a short amount of time and always make you look horrid. Alcohol can also lead to death to you and your surroundings. It can put you to a coma and or death. Your mind and sight are risked every time you do it. So these things are just…. Um…. Don’t do it.

There is also peer pressure caused by friends and family and could also get you in a lot of trouble. It can lead to you getting drunk and hooked on drugs. Your friends and family have a lot more power over you than you think because there the only family and friends you got. What ever they want to do you want to do but you can stop that and say no and it might make them better people.dont go with the follow stay cool.

In conclusion to dare I would like to say that theses things may seem cool…. But if you choose to do these things it’ll probably the worst choice you have ever made in your life. You don’t have to do it just because they do. It will ruin your love life you work life and you social life….. Your whole life. So if you’re already involved try to stop develop the power to stop. And if you aren’t good for you!

I know it sounds cheesy and its a 6th grade program but you have to follow its good facts.
