Edison Students
on Teens and Drugs at Library
For a number of years, the Edison Fundamentals of Communication
students have been educating young people on bullying, drug abuse, and
literacy. They have visited nearly every school district in Darke
County in order to talk about the consequences of risky or abusive
behavior.
A team of Edison State Darke County students will be talking to parents
and other adults about the drug dangers teens face today, and how to
help them make the right choices. The presentation will take place
Thursday, May 3, 6:30 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library.
Fundamentals of Communications students Kathryn Combs, Morgan Sparks,
Jackson Plush, Josh Schrock and Autaum Moore have been working on their
team project since the middle of March.
The Edison State students will discuss the Middle School years, grades
five through eight, which they consider the dangerous years when teens
are most likely faced with decisions about drugs. The presentation will
include a discussion of the harder drugs, such as heroin, fentanyl and
carfentanil, but will focus mostly on the drugs to which teens are
usually introduced… tobacco, vapes, alcohol, prescription drugs and
marijuana.
The Edison State team will share the dangers of these drugs and what
parents can do to help their children make the right choices.
Their research has been extensive and includes the latest available
information. Questions will be taken from the audience. This is a
free program with light refreshments provided.
