To better grasp the message of Red Ribbon Week, consider reading books on the subject. Fortunately, many children & YA authors have tackled the issue of drug & alcohol abuse from various perspectives in their respected writings. I highly recommend the following works:
*Alexie, Sherman-The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian
http://www.fallsapart.com/the_absolutely_true_diary_of_a_part_time_indian
*Brooks, Kevin-Candy
http://www.thisispush.com/read/excerpt_brooks-candy.htm
*Mazer, Norma Fox- When we first met
http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/viewWorkDetail.do?workId=1259364
*Sparks, Beatrice (editor)-Go ask Alice
