If substances are offered to you, you always have the right to say no, but we know that can sometimes feel awkward in the moment.

Not sure what to say? Try this:
✔ “I’m good.”
✔ “Not my thing.”
✔ Change the subject.
✔ Blame something else (practice, family, etc.).

Having a plan makes it easier to stick to your choices.

Most teens are not using substances regularly.

“Everyone’s doing it” is one of the biggest myths out there. And it's an important one to debunk because, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), early substance use, especially while the brain is still developing, increases the risk of addiction later in life.

Protecting your future means making healthy decisions now.

Boredom isn’t harmless. It can lead to risky choices.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), studies link unstructured, unsupervised time with higher chances of teen substance use.

Teens should try this instead:
☀️ Get outside
🎨 Start something creative
👯 Make plans with friends
🎧 Dive into music or content creation

Boredom doesn’t have to be risky.

Summer break = more freedom, more time with friends, and more choices.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), research shows that teens are more likely to experiment with substances during periods of unstructured time, like summer.

Staying substance-free helps protect your brain, mental health, and future.

Make this a summer you remember—for the right reasons. ☀️
