This morning I took part in a program called Reach Out to Youth at my school. It is tailored to young students (elementary level) and its purpose is to foster an interested and desire to learn medicine. These are some of the under-served youth of Detroit. My task was to help teach a small class of 9-11 year olds some anatomy. It was pretty fun and the students were actually rather attentive, but I had to share this tidbit that I got.
One of the discussions went to how to keep you body healthy. Of course we got replies that you shouldn't smoke and you shouldn't drink alcohol. Then one kid shouts out, "Yeah, and no selling neither."
At least they are teaching kids that selling drugs is bad for your health.
