"Do I, or don't I when all of my friends are doing it?"   - This is a common feeling that is very openly felt by our younger generation today. Peer pressure is the biggest issue for students. It is the desire to "fit in", to be noticed, and to feel accepted by their friends.   Our presentation of TAKE CONTROL USA addresses the issues caused by the presence of drugs and alcohol on friends and family.   TAKE CONTROL USA is designed to deliver a strong message to students between grades 4-12 regarding the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse. This 60-90 minute presentation was prepared with the intent of educating and making a serious impact on students "facing issues" of peer pressure and violence that is associated with substance abuse. TAKE CONTROL's goal is to bring a high-energy, non-offensive and challenging presentation to students while delivering a message. The words inspire them, the music moves them, and the video helps them to identify with the possible scenario in their own lives regarding the critical decisions made in growing up.
