Drugs. It's a serious problem. And teens have serious questions. Why do people get involved with drugs? What should someone do if they already are? How do they ask for help? The Dirt on Drugs offers more than a "just say no" approach. It urges teens to resist the temptation not just because they should, but because their life will be much happier and healthier if they do. With an in-your-face message and hard-hitting facts, Justin Lookadoo shows teens the ugly side of one of life's toughest temptations.
