Popularity

This is the 5th most popular campaign

My campaign would be to inform young people of why they shouldn't, for example, take drugs, rather than just telling them not to. Telling them WHAT happens to their bodies, their minds, and their relationships with their peers and family. Rather than acting like the spoilsport and just telling them not to do those things. The same with topics such as Sex, Alcohol, Healthy Eating and Crime. Something needs to be done before it's too late, before the future generation is destroyed any further.

Hi Sara, Just thought I'd let you know that we're currently looking for our next lot of Battlefronters. If you are still interested, please get in touch via the link on the front page of the website or e-mail me direct. Cheers, Angie

I think this campaigns a good idea, it even gives myself an idea of how you can go about it. I think there should be a "lesson" that they have at schools where it shows the human body like they do in that programme "Make My Body Younger" where they have a live autopsy. Its not overly nasty as its computer generated, but theres no harm in showing what will happen to their bodies if they start smoking at the age of 11... Most children start smoking at 11, so I think year 6-7 will be a good time to start showing these illustrations of long term drug/alchohol abuse. John.
