But, she said, Alexa was too nervous to talk with the Times-News about the project.

Fight the New Drug, a nonprofit organization, travels across North America to talk about the science behind pornography, how it can become addictive and how it harms the brain, relationships and society as a whole.

Jones heard about Fight the New Drug when she saw her sister-in-law liked a post about it on Instagram.

“I thought it was really interesting,” she said. “I had never heard of anything like it.”

Alexa called the Twin Falls School District office and set up an appointment with Superintendent Wiley Dobbs and secondary programs director L.T. Erickson to show them the presentation.

The 12-year-old then worked with Erickson to get permission from each school principal to bring the assembly to students.

About 200 parents attended a meeting Monday night to learn more about the optional assemblies this week. Parents had to sign a form to opt in their child to attend a presentation at their school.

At Canyon Ridge High School, there were a few assemblies Wednesday morning.
