Lets talk about Mark, he’s your average Jewish teenager and he is STRESSED OUT!

For heavens sake he has to impress his parents at home,

his teachers at school, keep up with the latest buzz on Facebook, constantly refresh his Instagram, remember to dress fresh so he’s considered cool and not bullied in school.

Study for exams, lose weight, eat, sleep, apply for college, and have a clear goal for how he’s going to support himself and his future family starting at 17 years old! (and i didn’t mention coming to synagogue because that doesn’t add to stress ;).

With all this stress building up it can be really tough to say no to drugs, and sadly many of our teens and even adults turn to them for that temporary escape to “stress-less freedom”.

Sorry to all the moms and dads out there who think i’m gonna now end off by demanding people go cold turkey and quit drugs. I have just the opposite to say.

Say Yes to drugs! — Yes today, Yes tomorrow, and Yes forever!

Let me explain.
