your class regarding a classmate who has been hospitalized for a near-fatal overdose. The school staff and the class mate’s parents are worried that if the person trafficking the drugs isn’t caught , someone else could suffer the same fate. It is suggested that all the information can be reported anonymously. You are aware of a classmate with whom you are friends, who sells these drugs. What should you do?

family, TV) creates subtle pressure. “If it’s okay for them, it must be okay for me”
