DRUGS ISN’T COOL AT ALL

Girls: I have a dream… (sing)

Boys: What is your dream? Tell us! Tell us!

Solo: I have a dream. I have a dream that one day in Malaysia, with its multicultural society,
one day right here in Malaysia, young men and women in our country will be free of drugs!
(Martin Luther king’s speech)

Solo: Hey! Hey! Hey! What’s happening here?

All: Good morning, teachers and fellow friends. We would like to present to you… DRUGS ISN’T
COOL AT ALL.

the lives of its youth.

Girls: Why people get addicted to drugs?

Solo: It’s cool. Don’t you think so? (mmm…)

Solo: Everybody else is doing it. I want to fit in.

Solo: I saw it on television

Solo: Well, I saw it in a movie.

Solo: (Argh) My life is stressful. Drugs help me cope.

Solo: I am not addicted. I can stop at any time.

All: My fellow friends, when you first start taking a substance, you may think you can control how
much you use.

Row 1: But over time,

All: you may need more of the drug to get the same feeling. For some people, that can lead
beyond abuse to addiction.

Solo: Addiction? What is addiction?

abuse?

Girls: What? That’s about our age!

Boys: OMG! Oh nooo…!

All: We have not learnt the skills to think critically and make decisions.

Solo: What should we do?

All: To stop, you may need counseling, medicine, or both. If you have a substance abuse
problem and want to quit, a doctor can help.

Solo: As simple as that? How sure are you?

Boys: "In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let all who worship
evil's might, Beware the power of National Principles!" (Chanting).
