P T A told role models determine drug use

Past ( wrrrspundent
The concern «bout the
use and abuse of drugs at
Welches Grade School is
being explored by the
school's PTA through a lee-
ture series
The first presentation
was mad** by a represen
tative of the Comprehen
sive Options for Drug
Abuse i CODA i, a Portland
based organization which
offers a drug free outpa
(le n t
c lin ic
and
a
methadone maintenance
program, as well as a
residential facility
N ik k i
Johnson,
a
counselor with CODA, told
the PTA at its Jan 13
meeting that the word
drugs, "pushes every scare
button we have' because it
re p re s e n ts so m eth in g
unknown to a lo, of parents
She said that "you can
talk to your kids until you
are blue in the face." but
the biggest influence will
be role models and peer
pressure
She said that they may
try drugs, and that there is
little they, as parents, can
do Experim entation is
"just the nature of the c rit
ter "
Johnson said that by the
time today's kids finish
high school, 70 to 80 percent
will have tried drugs and 20
percent will be regular
users, while five to ten per
cent w ill be c h ro n ic
abusers
Some will be recreational
users only, and other will
be mixing various types of
drugs, including alcohol
and other drugs together
To combat continual
drug use Johnson recom
mended that parents and
teachers provide the best
information possible on
drugs This will insure that
the information is accurate
and "doesn’t come from so
meone selling drugs "
She said that this infor
m a tio n should be in
libraries and should be con
tinually updated
Students will begin ex
perimenting when there is
access, said Johnson
G enerally the first in
troduction they will ex
perience will be through
the fa m ily
m e d ic in e
cabinet Here they can ex
perim ent with valiu m ,
tranquilizers, sleeping pills
and even asprin Also,
tobacco and alcohol will
play an important role in
the beginning of their ex
p e rim e n ta tio n
w ith
chemical abuse.
Johnson
said
th a t
although school could be a
place to acquire drugs, a
lot of the students will be
introduced to marijuana
first through their own
brothers or sisters, wo may
not only have it in their
possession, but also may be
dealing
She said that the situa '
lion can even become more
co m p lic ate d when the
parents okay the use of a
drug at home, with the kids
then taking it to school
A frequent sign of heavy
drug use during adolescent
and teen years, according
to Johnson, is that a stu
dent will not develop the
goals th a t the o th e r
students have begun set
tmg
Their motivation will be
affected, and they will

being heavily used
The drug can affect the
user by distorting percep
