Title: For your local high-school
Post by: Covergaard on September 02, 2007, 03:37:11 AM
I have created this poster (http://http://www.secretprisonsforteens.dk/files/missing.pdf) for your local high-school.

Could that be an idea?

The principle will tear it down in a second, and the student who put it up would be punished for inciting a rebelion

Adults do not like kids thinking for themselves, it makes them difficult

(Of course, this is no reason to not put them up.)

Well a student could ask for permission from a consular, they could also ask to put this up at a library, local church, teen hang outs, and some such....

Just an idea

are you allowed to put things like this in shop windows in the states?

Sweet shops might be an idea

You could ask the owners of said shops, hey that would be a good way to educate the public.

Yous: Can I put these up in your window?
Owner: What is it?
Yous: ::seg::
Title: Where do the youth hang out
Post by: Covergaard on September 03, 2007, 12:11:15 AM
I have loooked around in my home town (Daughter is 8. That is the age where our police some time meats them drunk in parks and on beaches. Let me say that I keep a little eye on her and encourge her to spend time with her family rather than having her running around without supervision.)

In my town they hang out at the Internet cafe, at the bus shelters by the station, the pizza joint and finally a certain drug-store, if they are not involved in sports. (We have soccer, swimming bath, badminton, tennis, various gyms, cycling and athletics clubs) so if you have slightest need to get sweaty, our city can mean your demands. Outside sports our city do also have association for everything even odd things like grownup men and women playing with matchbox cars. So even Nerds are accepted. (Denmark have over 70,000 assocations for more and less odd things).

Where do your youth meet if they are not involved in sports? Maybe it is there, where the poster should hang.

Question:

can I have the original pre-pdf version of this so I can correct the spelling and grammatical mistakes, and put them up in certain places around here that I have contacts in?

(GLBT Youth Centers, the local Diner, the Jiu Jitsu school that Shana, Dillon, and I go to, etc)

I just don;t want to put them up with all the mistakes...

I could type it over or try and edit in photoshop, but it would be easier this way....

I live in Denmark and got what you will call a D as a grade in English. I can easily convert my original post to include the word-file also when I am home in some 5 or 6 hours.

Did you see my reply? :P  i converted it a doc and uploaded it about 45 minutes ago.  i posted the link.  anyway i think it's an great idea. Really it takes getting kids pissed off about this, and getting them involved. Im sure every public school out there has at least  1 kid who's been "sent away" and they all have friends who are clueless as to where they are etc. This could really wake some folks up and get kids to start asking questions etc .

A friend is missing

Quote

One of your classmates has not been in the class today. You have called his or her parents. They have said that your friend is either staying at family or being enrolled in a boarding school.
Will you ever see them again?
No one has or ever will be sure if you will see your friends again as you once knew them!
Every year children die when their parents send them to places for behavior modification. They are often taken from their own bed in the middle of the night by so-called escort firms. Firms who have specialized in the transport of children to places for behavior modification with the use of handcuffs, leg-irons and pepper spray if necessary.
They die from various causes: Hunger, diseases, violence, suicide etc.
Where is your friend?
· Is he or she being forced on a “march or dieâ€

A special Dinar, coffee shops, the mall, churches, parks and such

GLBT Youth Centers? Dude where do you live, that would be so cool to have out here. I feel bad for the GLBT community out here, so much ignorance.

I'm printing this and giving it to the stupid girl outside walgreens for DARE. The other day I asked her if she had any idea what she was supporting and who suffers in this war on drugs? She said she thinks its a good idea for kids not to do drugs...duh...

why do people do drugs anyway? why do we crave certain things? because there is a chemical deficency  that needs to be address. stop criminalizing drug users. criminalize politicians instead!
Title: Severals reasons for drug use
Post by: Covergaard on September 05, 2007, 12:18:02 AM
I believe that people generally wants too much.

They want a body like the moviestars. They want a success in school and later in the workspace. They want house, car dog and some nice-looking and polite children on the top of it. They want happiness.

But life is not so. Life is deaths and sickness also.

And then there is the speed all the work has to be done with. The world is a stressful place today and there is very little time to stop up and wonder why we run all time.

Just yesterday a large newspaper in Denmark said that it was funny that they drugtest so much in sports because the rest of the society function largely on drugs - legal or not.

In Denmark it cost about 6-800 dollars to be caught with illegal drugs for your own use. If you have a drivers license, you have to pass six unannouced test over 6 months if you want to keep it, because most Danes dont like to be run over by a driver under influence and yes - our fines for alcohol while driving is also heavy - a full month pay regardless of how many money you earn.

But we do not target why people use. Unless they actually kill someone, they are not forced into treatment - youth or adults.

I dont think that people should do drugs. I think that people have to be honest instead. Of course I want to party and be with my wife and I am not afraid to ask for it. I dont care what people think of me. If they dont like me, they can stay away.

If people could give up their desire to be liked, be realistic about what kind of life they can expect and listen to their body, the drug-dealers would be out of their job tomorrow.

But drug use is a decision other people may take in their life. I would say what I mean about it and that I find it a bad idea to eat, smoke or drink something that are not being tested by the authorities like all other food sold in shops. But they have to decide on their own if they will take my advice.

Everybody has to take command in their own lives and accept the consequences of their actions. It does not take a program to explain that to them. Life in general will show them that in due time.

This is why I think my 'wiring' is totally screwed, and always was.  Life in general only confuses me more.

I approve of your poster 100%, but they are right:  it's not so easy to get support from store owners.  Most of the 'foreign' shopkeepers don't mind, initially, but when other customers complain, they vanish.  Lots of DARE support around here.
I wish I could make announcements@assemblies and stuff without getting arrested...
"Gramma...Why are they taking you away in handcuffs?"!!
