Do you know anybody who only tried it once?
I only got to see a few minutes of it, I saw a few minutes of the sheriff's (? or was it the police dept. head?) daughter, yikes, it can happen to anyone. It looked like it was a good quality production. Rachel watched most of it (since the teachers were offering extra credit for doing so), and said the format was different than what she thought it was going to be. She didn't realize so much of it was going to be testimonials and people talking.
I asked John (my son) whether he thought the message was a good one, and whether the program might help. He didn't think so; in his opinion, the only intervention once you're hooked, is incarceration. And even that doesn't always turn the person around.
It is pretty scary that it's such a big problem here. I'm wondering if it isn't a big problem everywhere; or is there something about NNV that amplifies the problem?
