Are you feeling the pressure to experiment with drugs? Have you heard the statement "everybody is doing drugs so what's wrong with you"? Well the fact is that not everyone is using drugs. Many teens are discovering alternatives and feel there is something wrong with you if you do take drugs.
Hundreds of thousands of students across the U.S. and Canada have discovered fishing as an alternative to drugs. Although there are many different alternatives you have to choose from, teens and even younger children say that fishing:
* gives us a time and place to think things out.
* is a fun activity that we can share with out friends and even with our families.
* helps us reduce stress that builds up in our lives.
* is something we can even do alone without feeling lonely.
* provides us an opportunity to work out problems or just talk about anything we want with friends or family.
* is less expensive than drugs.
* offers us a challenge and prestige among our peers.
