No, it doesn't. These "drugs will destroy your life" ad campaigns are a waste of effort. People, teens especially, never really think that the bad outcome will really happen to *them*. They think they can handle it. They drive fast because they don't think they will crash. They can use drugs and not get addicted. The bad stuff happens to other people.
Besides, nobody starts doing drugs because they think it will be *good* for their health. They do it because it is fun and it feels good.
Heck, even the woman in this picture had it happening to *her* in *real time* and it wasn't enough to make her quit.
How do you know that? Your presume to speak on behalf of all young people, but the only person you can really speak for is yourself.
The truth is more likely this: it will make a difference to some young people and no difference to others. As far as I'm concerned if it persaudes just a few to kids quit using meth or to never start, it is arguably worth it.
I saw a picture of smoker's lungs compared to normal lungs while I was in elementary school and it was the main reason I never tried cigarettes.
There was a program started in elementary schools to teach kids to appreciate trees, in order for them to grow into teens that wouldn't commit the kind of vandalism on city trees that was a problem in that community. They didn't expect the program to yield results until the kids got into high school, but it started to help almost immediately.
Imagine what a teen would feel if a little kid came up to them with tears in their little eyes pleading with them not to hurt the wonderful, defenseless tree? That's what happened, and a lot of teens evidentally responded to the idealism of the little kids.
