Drugs

Learning to listen, listening to learn.

Fairfield School

“Our school is in one of the worst places for drugs in Bristol. It’s easy to get hold of drugs and we know lots of people who are taking drugs. We need to know more and would like more help from adults but adults don’t trust us. They think if they tell us anything good about drugs we’ll turn into into crackheads and stoners.

We wanted to have an open discussion with parents, teachers and other adults and ask them the questions they don’t always like answering.”

“If I talk to my parents about drugs, they think I am taking drugs.”
