Preventing Destructive Decisions: Contract for Life
Are you familiar with the Contract for Life? Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) designed a contract that facilitates communication between young people and their parents about potentially destructive decisions related to alcohol, drugs, peer pressure, and behavior. In this contract, a teen acknowledges the many destructive decisions they may face, and promises to avoid risking their well–being and their parent’s trust.The teen agrees to:
- Never drive under the influence or ride in a car with someone that has been drinking
- Always wear a seat belt
- Call a parent or guardian if they are in a situation that could possibly endanger their safety
- Try their best to understand and talk to the teen about destructive decisions
- Provide a safe ride home
- Postpone discussions about the situation until they can both talk about it in a calm manner
- Not drive under the influence and avoid riding in a car with someone who has been drinking
- Always wear a seat belt
