1. No way! Some people have forgotten how difficult and confronting this time can be in your life. It means getting used to a whole new set of feelings and learning about who you are and what it is you like and dislike.---back to faq

2. Violence is never a way to sort things out. Saying you "deserved to get hit" is an excuse for violence. "If you stopped your nagging" or "did what I said" are ways of blaming you and making you feel like violence is your fault. Violence is never your fault. It is up to the person who uses violence to find other ways to deal with stress or to work out problems. No one deserves to be abused.  --back to faq

3. Low-tar cigarettes still reduce the blood flow through the heart. Regardless of the type of cigarettes a person smokes, all cigarettes will increase blood pressure and heart rate and cause damage to your lungs. --back to faq

4. While the pictures make the pills look fun, they can sometimes be a rough guide to what main ingredients may be in the pills. There is no accurate testing available and the ingredients will vary. Some pills will contain MDMA (or similar acting stuff) such as “brown dolphins” and “donald ducks”, while others will have a mixture of MDMA, amphetamines and ketamine (horse tranquiliser). Some pills such as “pink hearts” contain just amphetamines or just ketamine such as “white speckled WS”. There are batches which are passed off as ecstasy but actually contain paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA) and have been known to cause complications and even death. There are web sites available that can provide a guide as to what might be in a pill and can at least provide warnings on dodgy batches getting around. --back to faq
