Now over to Mr. Nichols...
• You’re at a party and one of your friends 
has clearly drunk too much alcohol- you’ve 
helped them to the toilet, they have been 
sick and are now passed out on the floor-they 
are meant to be staying at your house 
after the party but you don’t want your 
parents to find out there was alcohol at the 
party, so you don’t want to bring your 
friend home in such a state- what can you 
do?
• You’re offered a cigarette at a party-and 
some of your group of friends are 
smoking too, but you don’t want to 
and you’re worried that your parents 
will smell the smoke on your breath 
and clothes. How do you say ‘no’ to 
your friends?
• You have heard that some of your 
friends have been experimenting with 
marijuana. You are concerned, not 
just for their health but you are also 
aware there is drug-testing at ISM. 
You want to help but you are not sure 
who to turn to? What can you do?
