Drug addiction prevention among the teenagers.

Drug addiction is a global problem of modern mankind. Coordination of actions of all subjects of system of prevention is necessary for the fight against drug addiction. However, "it is easier to warn an illness than to treat it". That is why broad promotion among children of a healthy lifestyle and early prevention of drug addiction are necessary. A class hour offered below on a subject: "Black letters about drug addiction", will allow us to be convinced of need of expediency of scheduled maintenance on this problem.

Purpose: to provide information to teenagers about influence of narcotic substances on a human body; to form the ability to formulate arguments against the use of drugs and to develop negative attitude to consumption of narcotic substances.

The course of the class hour

1 . Exercise "Greeting".

Purpose: to create emotional and positive atmosphere in the collective; to make the group active for the further work.

All participants are divided into two groups. It is necessary to rise against each other at distance of several steps to two ranks. On a signal of the leader partners come nearer to each other and exchange various greetings. They can be handshakes, embraces, curtseys, claps, enthusiastic exclamations and silent meaningful glances. Having exchanged greetings, in each rank partners change – take a step to the right. Further greetings with new partners already proceed. The result on the best greeting is summed up.

2. We continue conversation about what can destroy our life, our health. Today we will talk about narcotic and psychotropic substances. From mass media, you, certainly, know what it is and some, probably, have heard from the friends who, unfortunately, were already familiar with these substances.

So what are drugs and why are they dangerous? What don't we know yet?

So, drugs are substances of a vegetable or synthetic origin which at hit in an organism cause certain changes of its functions, and owing to the repeated use bring to emergence of mental and physical dependence. In translation from Greek drugs – are stupefying substances bringing to catalepsy.

There are 3 stages of dependence: the first – increase in a dose; the second – is available a condition of abstinency (withdrawal pains) that is similar to a condition of dying of an organism; the third - because of the collected poisons can become deadly even a former dose of drug ("a gold prick" of the addict). Where were drugs from?

Long before a new era in Egypt, China, India and other countries of the Old World the broths prepared from herbs, roots, fruits and leaves of plants, and the so-called, lulling mushrooms as anesthetics were used.

Pagans and shamans used psychoactive agents in the practice actively, but the Christianity subjected them to the most strict ban.

In Europe the use of opium as means of pleasure was continued for some centuries, and in the European medicine it began to be used only since the 18th century. So, the main objective of drug – to help the dying patient, to relieve his pain and suffering. But, applying as pleasure, people didn't assume that it will accelerate their death.

In the West drug addiction as a serious problem, arose only in the 60th g of the XX century and played a tragic role in lives of many people.

Call well - known stars, actors, whose life broke because of drugs?

Why I told about rock groups because exactly there it was begun to use drugs and to extend them among other people. "Hippie", "punks", "metalworkers", "poshes", "fans", "ravers" and others – here only some list of narkotic of groups. It is necessary to mention about special "narcotic" or "acid" discos. The music in rave style is characteristic there.

Why do drug dealers extend drugs? It makes huge profit. But dealers don't use drugs. Why do addicts involve the contemporaries in the use of narcotic substances. First, because of an additional dose for themselves; secondly, because of envy to healthy people (they have other pleasures: hobbies, and for the addict the only pleasure is drug).

Life of the addict is very short (as a rule, till 30 years). It means eternal hospital (for removal of narcotic withdrawal pains); eternal prison (for drug money is necessary and addicts go on a crime); early death.

What do you think is "better"? What is the prospect? There are myths and reality about drugs. Myths: drugs are means against social orders, poverty (consume only "the upper class of the population"). Reality: addicts it is anarchists and narrow people. Myths: drugs help to survive vital problems. Reality: under the influence of drugs the personality is degraded and isn't capable to solve the problems at all, creating thereby even more problems to itself and relatives. Myths: "I will only try and I will give up". Reality: unfortunately, there is the strongest dependence. Myths: drug helps to catch "high". Reality: at the first tests of drug it doesn't always turn out to come into a fortune of "high".

What kind of drugs are there and how they destroy a human body happen? There are 5 main groups of drugs:

1. The depressants or opiates having soothing action.

They contain: opium, heroin, codeine, morphine, methadone and other preparations. Consequences: loss of teeth and hair, it is possible swelled lungs and shock. Accustoming to heroin is very quick – 2 days.

2. Psychostimulators: cocaine, "ecstasy", etc. They contain medical preparations: barbiturates (which can cause fall of temperature of a body, loss of consciousness, a coma, are especially dangerous with alcohol), amphetamines ("ecstasy which lead to temperature increase of a body on 4-5 degrees, organism dehydration, false inflow of forces, destroys cells of a brain and a liver, the sudden death is possible); efedron ("screw") is attracted to paranoid changes of the personality, by violation of work of a brain; cocaine (perforation of a nasal partition, hurts cartilaginous part of a back of a nose is observed, causes local loss of feelings).

3. Hallucinogens (an acid which causes hallucinations up to dreadful, nausea, dizziness); mushrooms toadstools which attract irreversible changes of consciousness, irreversible spikes in violence, "see" sounds and "hear" colors.

4. Kannabioda (marihuana, hashish, hemp, "plan", "grass" - derivatives of the Indian hemp). There is a strong psychological dependence and, as a result, after "sit down" on stronger drugs. All of them cause hallucinations, the heart rhythm is accelerated, dries up mucous a mouth and a nose, there comes dehydration. Lung cancer can develop.

5. Ingalyanta (various products of household chemicals). These substances affect a brain, as "Ferree" on fat. They dissolve amino acids in a brain and conduct to irreversible consequences. Now there is a lot of literature which is directed on the hidden promotion of drugs. Its purpose – to attach as much as possible youth to drug addiction. It is purposeful policy of extinction of the Russian nation and young generation.

It is known that the child who wasn't born still in mother's womb – addict tests the same condition of abstinency (withdrawal pains), as his mother. Being born it either dies, or has uglinesses. (Display of video of fragments from movies: "Requiem", "Petersburg cellars", "Addict's confession", etc.). After viewing of video of fragments discussion is carried out with teenagers.

3. Exercise "Confusion".

Purpose: to dump negative energy; to find a way out of the "got confused" situation. Participants of group get up in a circle and give the right hand towards the center of a circle. On the leader's signal each participant finds to himself "the partner in handshake". Then all participants extend the left hand and also find a "partner" to themselves (it is desirable, not the same person). The task of participants consists in that being untangled, i.e. again to be built in a circle, without separating hands. The task can be complicated that to forbid all verbal communication.

Was it difficult to be untangled without the aid of another? Why it is necessary to break links, "fetters" sometimes? What does the person feel, getting to such "web"? Discussion.

4. Exercise "Puppet".

Purpose: to let know that the operated person can feel.

It is necessary to break into the three. Each three is given a task: two participants have to play a role of the puppeteer – completely to operate all movements of a doll - puppet, one participant will play the doll role. For each three two chairs at distance 1,5 – 3 meters are placed. The purpose of puppeteers: to transfer "doll" from one chair on another. Thus "doll" shouldn't resist. Each participant has to visit a place of a doll.

What does the person feel? Do you wish to be exempted from it? Discussion.

5. Exercise "Guardian angel".

Purpose: to fulfill skills of upholding of the point of view.

5 volunteers are elected. Among themselves it is necessary to cast – "the guest of a party", "the owner of a party", "the friend of the owner of a party", "guardian angel", "devil tempter". To the main hero of game ("the guest of a party") familiar children ("the owner of a party" and his "friend") suggest to try together with them "marihuana" or another "narcotic substance". The main character has two angels: "guardian angel" who suggests to refuse to try from persuasive offers drug, and "devil tempter" who persuades to try.

During the game it is possible to change roles, but it is impossible to interrupt each other and to speak in unison. Discussion.

6. Summing up.

7. Farewell ritual.

The group sits in a circle. All participants join hands. Everyone wishes something good to the neighbor who is to the right of it, etc. around. After all told each other wishes, the leader says goodbye to teenagers, and all go away.
