Tuesday 25th of May 2010, we had Youth day.

Room 13 & 14 spent there day listening about the effects of smoking, drugs and alcohol. Ms Fryer organised speakers to come and speak to us.

Ms Fryer used to work with the life education trust for two years, so she talked to us about legal and illegal drugs and what the effects are. I learned that the drugs don't just go to the places you want them to go to they go all round the body. In other words if you had a saw toe and you took painkillers the drug would go all over the body before it got to the toe. Ms fryer was very helpful.

Two ladies from the Cancer Society talked to us about smoking and how it can wreck your body. Did you know that smoking is the most common way that people die in NZ and if you put the deaths of drugs, murder, car accidents and heart attacks together smoking still kills the most people in NZ. That gave me a big shock, and it made me realise how bad smoking is for you. So thank you to the Cancer Society for sharing your knowledge with us it was a real eye opener.
