BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Drugs

Two 12-year-old boys are being praised for calling to mind the advice of Harold the Giraffe when they were offered drugs from strangers on their way to school. The Whangarei Intermediate School Year 7 students were approached by two strangers in their late teens and offered drugs on Friday morning. The boys said no and went straight to the school office to tell a teacher. One of the boys told his mother Harold the Giraffe, a puppet used as a learning tool with the Life Education Trust, had visited Whangarei Intermediate School and taught them how to say no to drugs. That was the responsible and mature thing to do. Those two did exactly what they should have done when confronted with those bellends, and it is clear from their actions that they understand right from wrong.
