Kidlink challenge to kids: Provide evidence that alcohol abuse hurts our community

Provide Evidence!

"I will not let my friends drive home while they are drunk because who now what is going
to happen on the way home. If my friends our drunk and they cannot drive home, I will
drive them home. That is a true friend because friend won?t let friends drive drunk."

"You must provide evidence" - you must help increase public knowledge of the negative effects of alcohol abuse, of the lies and manipulations that might seem to justify alcohol abuse. Ideas:

find Kidlink kids who have been explosed to alcohol abuse. Listen to their personal stories. Good stories may be of interest to your collaborators in the journalists/writers community. For example, they might combine good personal stories with dry statistics of the number of kids against alcohol abuse to make a more readable text or interview or show.
monitor what your local news say about alcohol abuse. Check with alternative sources to see if the news is correct, or misleading and manipulating. Contact the news media to have mistakes corrected, or complain by sending an article to your local newspaper.
help your schoolmates get a clear idea of what is happening. Your class or school magazine/newspaper may be an effective means. Do not give up. We must fight together for a better world!
