Dare is a really fun class to be in, not only because there's no homework, but also the experience. I learned a lot of really cool things in dare, what the DARE decision making model is and how to use it, and what I plan to use the information for. I decided you should probably know a little bit about it.
I learned lots of things in DARE like how to control my feelings, good decisions, and what causes of drugs are. Have you ever got really mad at a sibling and you just want to strangle them? Well this is where I use my problem solving skills to control my feelings. Usually I just go to my room but if I'm really mad I go to the garage and take a few huge slap shots.

Let's go back to our example. The problem is that people ask you to smoke and you know it's unhealthy. Think what you can do, you could run off, you could say, “No thanks” or even say yes. Your response was to say yes. Think to yourself after, “Was that a good choice?”
I know that eventually someone is going to ask me to smoke like the example. I am going to have to be strong enough to say no. It is really good I am in this class and learned so much about my health and behavior. I plan to use what I learned to make the right decisions and not to smoke.
All in all, dare is a really fun class to be in. Now you know how to make the right decisions and what the DARE decision making model is and how to control your feelings. I hope you can't wait to be in this class next
