GILLESPIE, JR. DISTRICT ATTORNEY (EDITOR’S NOTE: Following is an open letter to young people from the Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services in Wilkes-Barre.) “I hope youve had an enjoyable summer filled with excitement and relaxation. Shortly, you will be rejoining your classmates for the beginning of another school year. Your year, like mine, will be filled with ups and downs, successes and failures, good times as well as trying times. You're a year older and, hopefully, a grade advanced since last school year. Please take a moment and consider a few things at this point. Drug and alcohol use among our young people is still at a critically high point. Our caseload is swelled with young people who find them- selves in a situation where drugs and alcohol now control their every waking day. Peer pressure, the need to be accepted, the wanting to belong to a group, the fear of being an outcast, fear of being laughed at, scorned, or ridiculed if you don’t go along with the crowd. Sound familiar? I’m sure it does. Yes, you will be faced with these issues, but so isn’t everyone. No one escapes peer pressure, no matter what age. We all feel pressured to comply at times. But consider this. You have the right to protect your mind and body. You have the right to be you, an individual, with your own free will, able to make inde- pendent decisions. You have a right to choose a peer group which is going to respect your rights and protect your overall health and wel- fare. — I dare you to be an individual who makes their own decision. — I dare you to be creative in your thoughts and life-style utilizing all of your God-given energies and qualities. — I dare you to face your daily problems head on. Challenge them, seek alternaives, have perserver- ence and fortitude and you'll win out. Don’t quit when life gets tough. — I dare you to lead instead of being led by others. — I dare you to show respect to your parents, teachers and neigh- — I dare you to pledge you will not use drugs and alcohol since the use would jeopardize everything you are striving to achieve. — I dare you to find the ‘natural highs” in life. — I dare you to visit a nursing home, home for retarded, children’s ward in a hospital; give away some of your love and energies to those who are less fortunate than you. “You have the right to life; Enjoy it to its fullest.” counseling Nancy H.
