PROGRAM ON ICE SCARY BUT SENDS A MESSAGE

When I saw the television program on ice, I got scared. But then my parents
told me the program is just telling you about a really bad drug. And so I
realized it wasn't scary but it was put in a scary way, because it was telling
you you shouldn't take ice, and I hope all of us don't take ice. I hope the
doctors will make a medication to cure ice and destroy ice for good.

So, kids who watched the television program, don't be scared, it's just telling
you what ice is all about. And I hope it will never be sold to any of our
schools and children. We all realize we should never take drugs in the first
place.

Drugs are bad for you, like cigarettes that make your lungs go bad and you can
die, and like alcohol because if you drink it you can get in a car accident if
you drive, and it won't be our fault because you're the one who drank it. If
you drink alcohol, another person should drive the car.

Never take ice; it's bad for you.
