However, the responsibility to stop the use of drugs shouldn't fall on Congress, school systems or dance clubs. It's the home environment that is key to keeping kids off drugs. When will we stop expecting others to take care of our children? I'm 21 and can say without a doubt that I am drug-free because of my parents. "Just say no" and "reality-based" programs are important, but only when we put the responsibility where it belongs, on parents, will we ever hope to keep kids off drugs.
