For some of you, your teenage years are a period of trial and error, making mistakes and testing the world around you. Its easy to fall into the wrong crowd, be tempted by the allure of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes and it can be tough saying no. Let’s face it, we all know they aren’t good for you.

If you decide to go out drinking with your mates, make sure you know basic first aid, make sure one of you stays sober and that you all get home safe. Alcohol poisioning is deadly and at least HIGHLY unpleasant.

Cigarettes are more addictive than heroin and once you get started you may get stuck with them. If you want facts and help to stop, try www.nhs.uk/gosmokefree
