A Better Idea

by James Dare and Alisha Behl
Charleston, IL High School

Inhaling toxic fumes to get high is a very dangerous trend that has become more of a problem in this area. According to the 2008 Body Electric Survey, 13.3% of students in this region have sniffed glue, breathed the contents of aerosol spray cans, or inhaled paints or sprays to get high. We want to show younger children and our peers that there are better, more fun ways to have a good time. In our skit a boy shows his sister and her new friend, a girl who is known to be involved with inhalants, that there are better, safer ways to have fun.
