Third Form 'Lessons for Life' talk

As part of the Lessons for Life programme, which contributes to work the Third Form are doing on peer influence, James from Changing Lives gave an insightful talk on the frequent misuse of alcohol and cannabis, and the potential consequences.

James discussed the real-life experiences of those who have used alcohol as a substance of physical dependence, giving an insight into the world of addiction. He also discussed how achieving, investing and accomplishing positive things in your lives always outweighs any quick fix a drug may seem to offer. 

Mrs Anderson ended the talk by explaining to the Third Form that we all become defined by our choices in life, and that we must acknowledge this in order to make good, pragmatic and informed decisions.
