"Taking drugs at school and elsewhere is part of this ..' 'belonging' myth that we hope the PSAs will dispel," eeyt Stephens. A current UCLA survey of Cal ifornia junior and eenlof high school students validates the Cen ter's positive approach. It reports fear is not an effective deterrent to teen drug us* and, in fleet, kids who turn down drugs most often bee* their choice on self-image, not drug abuse programs or edu cation.
