Know the Scene: Degrassi on Teen Nick
8 Comments Are you a fan of Degrassi: the Next Generation, on Teen Nick? Well, I’ve got news for you. In the first show of the season, which aired last Friday, one of the characters got into trouble abusing drugs. I can’t tell you much more than that, but I do know that when someone decides to take a drug the first time, it can be for many reasons, like to get a buzz, to experiment, or just to fit in. But, if you keep taking drugs, they can change the chemicals in your brain so that you may not be able to stop.
Degrassi star Jamie Johnston has recorded a special message about drug abuse that played during the show. But, hey, since you’re here, why not view it now on NIDA’s YouTube channel.
hey nick why don’t you change teen nick back into the n only for teens.Not that teen nick is bad or enything but i mess the name then only for teens.
this hppen to me n my bf now hes my ex cuz of this drug. he changed so much. i want to help him still. i love him. but idk how =[
degrassi rocks. i enjoyed that eppisode. the reason i like it was because it gives the point across to lots of teens such as myself that drugs really suck. yeah ik people say corney lines about drugs are bad but its true. in my opion we all encounter drugs but i think that they are pointless and you never know what can be in them so its a risk thats for the worse.lastly i think alot of ppl do drugs to fit in and not be left out. and its tough.
It’s hard to be in this situation, seeing a friend going down a dangerous path or suffering, and not being sure what you can do to help. First, let him know that someone cares about him. You can let him know you are concerned without being judgmental, and that there are people he can talk with in confidence. He may be more open to talk to a trusted adult or a medical professional if he feels that his privacy would not be violated. There are some resources for him that are anonymous - for example, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. They don’t just talk about suicide; they can help with a lot of issues including drug abuse, and can connect your friend with a professional close by. There is also a website with information about treatment programs: http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/. Because talking with someone about his or her drug use can be uncomfortable, you may want to ask an adult you trust, like a teacher or coach, to help you figure out how best to help your friend.
