Life Education Trust

Last week was our last session at the Life Education Trust. The purpose of the Life Education Trust is to teach the primary and intermediate about how drugs and alcohol affect your body and your brain. The Life Education Trust was created because young new Zealanders were dying for choosing to do drug and alcohol.

When people decided to do drug or alcohol it stop them from reaching their full potential. The reason people chose to do drug because they're lonely and have lot of trouble. People who do drug can end up with no life.

At Life Education Caravan we learnt about making right choices like when you get older people will be inviting you to parties that do drug and alcohol. At the caravan we learnt that drug and alcohol can destroy your future.

Our class learnt taking drug can affect how you learn your emotion, slow thinking and lots more. At Life Education Caravan we watch a clip a boy said that “His life was not ruined” but his life is ruined because he want to play for All Black but he can’t because he took drug, he can’t be in the All Black team be he done drug they're not allow.
