Drugs e-Learning - Drugs: Can you stand your ground

Can you get your point across without starting a row? Do you know how to stand up for yourself? Saying what you mean and sticking to it can be a real skill when it comes to offers of drugs. Have a go at the personality quiz and see how you score.


You're at the bus stop, a bus comes along and someone you don't know pushes in front of the queue. DO YOU:
		mumble something under your breath and let them on

		say 'excuse me!' angrily and hope they get the message

		tell them you were in front and they should wait their turn



You are hanging around outside the shops. Some people you know offer you some cannabis. They get a bit pushy and try to persuade you to have a smoke. DO YOU:
		tell them to 'push off' and start a big row

		pretend you have to get home

		say 'no thanks, it's not for me' and go and talk with some other friends



Your mates make fun of you because you're the only one who hasn't tried smoking. DO YOU:
		tell them you don't care what they think - you don't want to smoke

		try a cigarette then say you don't like it

		shout at them and tell them they're stupid



One of your mates asks you to go into the shop to get some lager because you look older than he does. DO YOU:
		refuse and tell him not to ask you again

		go in and get some but feel a bit scared

		tell him if he doesn't stop drinking you don't want to be his friend



You're eating a burger in a restaurant and you find a hair in it. DO YOU:
		take it out and throw it away, but say nothing

		go and complain to the person who served you and ask for another burger

		pretend you're going to be sick and make a scene




Somebody you know buys some speed. They offer you some when you're in town. DO YOU:
		say you don't want to be awake all night and feeling terrible the next day

		say no way and you'll tell everyine at school that they take drugs

		agree to try it even through you don't really want to
