What would you do if a stranger gave you some medicine and said it would keep you thin or help you do well in exams? Would you take it?
This happens sometimes to students in Shenzhen．What those strangers want to give them is drugs．A drug can be anything that changes the way mind or body works．
Students at Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Language Middle School learn to keep themselves safe by saying “no．” Starting this month, other Shenzhen students are also learning important lessons about drugs．
“Because teens don’t know much about drugs, they might want to try them, ” Zhang Dongsheng, the director of Shenzhen’s Drug Control Office, said．
Liang, 16, was a good student before he tried drugs．One day, some old friends told him it would be fun．After taking drugs only one time, he found it very hard to stop．Liang began to spend all his time and money on drugs．In the end, he stopped going to school and started stealing．
In China, drugs are becoming a big problem for teens．According to China’s national police, one million people in China were using illegal drugs last year, and 72 percent of them were young people．There were 10, 000 drug users under 16．Students now take trips to rehabilitation centers(戒毒中心)to meet kids who have had problems．
Junior One student Li Mengnan was shocked when she visited a center in Dongguan, Guangdong last September．
“I couldn’t help crying when I heard all the sad stories about drug users, ” she said．Zhang has some good advice on staying clean：“Never try them, even if you’re curious”
