We more and more often hear about aggression amongst youth, of physical and verbal violence inside families, schools, society... Drugs provoke violence.

Enfance Sans Drogue demands that there is systematic research into illegal and legal drugs carried out in every case of aggression between youths or other individuals, as well as in suicide attempts and suicides, in order to enhance the link between violence and drug consumption.

The publishing of the results will enable us to be fully aware of the situation in our country.

Would you lend your car to your child knowing that he/she cannot drive ?

  • Yes
  • No

non

No parent would lend his car to his child knowing he/she has not learnt to drive. It would also be unconscionable to let one’s teenager go out without having taught him/her what drugs are. Nowadays availability of these products is such that youth can procure them in all the places they frequent – educational establishments, parties, class dinners, rallies, sport clubs... Parents must inform themselves objectively and scientifically about the products so to educate their children on drugs and provide them with the arguments to refuse them. Let us remember that drug addiction doesn’t just happen to others!
