Lol I had a dog name Dare.
kerrigan778
Lol, America and its creepy ass making kids pledge things.
OddlyParanoid
My school district was robbed by the guy running it so we couldn’t afford to do the DARE graduation so technically I agreed to nothing!

I had to sign some nonsense about cigarettes in like fifth grade. By 21 I was on a pack a day. That's life, haha

You underestimate my square-ness.

I never signed the damn thing, I dont need a pledge not to do drugs, also never did drugs.

Remember in the 1980s how every arcade game said "Winners Don't Do Drugs". Our local Street Fighter champ was always stoned...

I tale drugs all the time ... unfortunately they are for my many medical issues
Anonymousmalcontent
I didn't lie. Thirty-five years old today and never tried so much as a cigarette.
It is funny though that a cop came in and introduced us all to drugs that we had never heard of.

I'm pretty sure they did studies on DARE and the use of drugs actually went up in locations that used the program. That lion was high af.

I would un-weave those ribbons one thread at a time. I didn't understand the impulse then, and I don't now.
thevortexmaster
I've never seen one of those before. Am i too old? Or is it an American thing?
BunchaCrunchOfHuman
I was the only kid who opted out of DARE. Didn't plan on doing drugs, but I wanted to leave that door open. Lol.
quade
I used to just scratch out the "FR" part

I completed D.A.R.E: Drugs Are Really Exciting.

Always used expensive, but ymmv

Back then I didn't need drugs or alcohol to have fun with friends. Now I dont need friends to have fun with drugs and alcohol.
So many of us let that tiger down.
RedLanternGrodd
It was a lion
Ohh yea, i remember the mane.
TestyZesticles
If my memory serves me correctly, it didn't seem like we had much of an option. Everyone got one to sign and we weren't old enough to know.
ArtieoftheAbyss
Kinda like the Pledge of Allegiance...
kickmyballsrealhard
Or being taught that the civil war was mainly about states rights
You must be from Alabama. In the rest of the country we learned it was about who controlled the land where the UFO crashed.
lowerider777
Wait, I thought it was sparked by time travelers who were trying to kill Lindbergh baby but went back too far?
WesTexMex
Or that Christopher Columbus discovered America.
BrokenBob7
Hell, my parents fucked it for me by feeding me ritalin ie baby meth twice a day for YEARS. Kinda Rob's your parents of any high ground

Really? If you mean you were diagnosed with ADHD, Ritalin and Dexamphetamine actually have a different affect
Sounds like you may have been misdiagnosed? There are other conditions with similar signs & symptoms. ?
epicureanquest
It still releases a load of dopamine. It puts you in a dopamine reward loop. Very similar to addiction
Kagenical
Oh yeah, 15 years later I still fiend for dopamine rushes.
It still has side effects, I would pick at my zits really badly
I do that with out the meds. Adhd has a way of making us not have impulse control. We were never taught it as children. We were drugged.>
I've found that a lot of research that has come out of europe is pretty useful, as they approach adhd with cognitive behavioral therapy.
