Damla: Of course why not?

Nur: OK, then. There is our meeting at 2 on Sunday. See you at Street Hall.

Damla: OK, see you

(Light turns off)

At the meeting

Nur: Ladies and gentlemen, we meet here for talking about the purpose of our charity. Our aim is fight to the drug. We will mention about the effects and damages of drug. How do the young ones start to use drug? What’s the thing that makes drug more interesting?

Instead of drug beneficid cotivilies in their leisure times, our teenagers whose parents don’t care about them, apply bad friend relationships and acquire bad habits

As a result of this, as you know drug is a kind of very harmful substance that numbs brain and body and gives temporary pleasure. Once you start to taking drugs, it’s hard to give you that habit. And for most of people, it is hard to cover it economically. At first time it’s free for teenager to try it. After teenager addiction to drugs starts, he pays it by this own allowance. And then this allowance get rid of, and finally he steal money from his parents and friends. Before it happens, keep teenager away from bad intentioned people and keep them away from this accusied substance.

What should we do for our chilren?

Kübra: We can share everything with our family and should be more friendly!

Cemre: You’d better, be careful on choosing your friends!

Damla: The drug enters the door happiness runs out from window

Nur: Thanks for your supportness.

Abdül: Life is

Kübra: Yours

Cemre: Choice is

Damla: Yours

all together: LIFE IS YOURS CHOICE IS YOURS (loudly)

LIFE IS YOURS CHOICE IS YOURS…
