OUR NAME IS CHANGED

We have changed our name from the NEW TRADITION COALITION to DRAW THE LINE LAWRENCE so it better fits our purpose and mission. We call on all community members to come together and DRAW THE LINE on underage drinking and drug use for a healthier and safer place to live.

UNDERAGE DRINKING WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS?


Are there gray areas in your beliefs about underage drinking? What effect does that have on your child's behavior? Is it OK to drink at a wedding but not at the Friday night high school tail gate party? Is it OK to drink at 18 when they are away at school but not at home when they get back for the summer? How do teenagers decipher your messages about alcohol when they decide to drink or not. Are your extended family and close friends on the same page as you? These are questions parents need to discuss and formulate answers to and share with teens as your family values. Mixed messages can sometimes worse than not talking to teens at all. See what Stacy DeWitt, CEO and founder of Connect With Kids has to say in this video.
