Drugs Information 'Designated Paul Dillons': The Ultimate Compliment From A Teenager!

If I always wondered whether the immature people I speak to are listening too genuinely purpose the data I present, an e-mail I of late received from a immature adult woman clearly shows that some for sure are. What she shared with me about a strategy that she too her friends (now at university) use to continue condom when they political party I believe is the ultimate compliment from a teenager.

Here is an edited version of her e-mail (which I did inquire her permission to use):

My friends too I source heard you lot speak at our schoolhouse inwards Adelaide inwards 2009 when nosotros were inwards Year 10. Our whole twelvemonth score loved your speak too over the side yesteryear side couplet of years your presentations became the highlight of our twelvemonth - nosotros would all expect therefore forrad to hearing what you lot were going to nation next. We weren't genuinely political party girls when nosotros saw you lot inwards Year 10 but by Year 11 we were going out almost every weekend too it was therefore that nosotros created what nosotros called the 'Designated Paul Dillon'. This was the person who's undertaking it was for the nighttime to expect after everyone else too brand sure everybody was safe. They were non allowed to gulp too it was their undertaking to create the 'chair test', brand sure no-one fed drunkard people staff of life too give the correct sum of H2O to drunkard people. You cannot know how many times nosotros were at a political party over the final years of high schoolhouse when someone got sick too everyone looked at each other too would nation "What would Paul Dillon do?"

My friends too I are all at uni straightaway too nosotros notwithstanding brand sure nosotros conduct maintain a 'Designated Paul Dillon' when nosotros move out partying or clubbing - nosotros most in all probability demand 1 straightaway to a greater extent than than inwards the past. Your influence is pretty big inwards Adelaide - over the lastly couplet of years at uni at that spot conduct maintain been a seat out of times when nosotros would live at a party and at that spot would people nosotros don't know at that spot too when someone got sick you lot would hear either "We had this guy come upwardly to our school, teach a chair too we'll give them the 'chair test'!" or "Paul Dillon said that nosotros demand to ..."  

All of us desire to nation 'thank you' too continue doing what you lot do. We've all been the 'Designated Paul Dillon' at 1 fourth dimension or some other over the years too I'm sure we've all saved a life at to the lowest degree once.

If you're confused equally to what the 'chair test' genuinely is, you lot tin ship away teach to 1 of my posts on my spider web log for immature people - 'The Real Deal on Drugs' too run into what I tell immature people to create if they conduct maintain to expect after a drunkard friend when I acquaint at schools too how to know when they conduct maintain to telephone telephone an ambulance.

When I teach emails similar this the exclusively individual I always present them to is my mother! I don't present them to her to brag or to nation 'look how amazing people intend I am', it's exactly that I'm therefore overwhelmed yesteryear the fact that someone would genuinely conduct maintain the fourth dimension to 'put pen to paper' too nation such lovely things, I demand to present them to someone else too nation only 'can you lot believe this?'

There are a couplet of wonderful things well-nigh what this immature adult woman has written ... Firstly, she too her friends took the data I provided to them inwards my presentation too were able to honour a means to purpose it inwards a practical means that worked for them (it could live my ego speaking hither but I dearest the concept of a 'Designated Paul Dillon'!). It's all good too adept giving lineament data to immature people but tin ship away they purpose it inwards their day-to-day lives too create they desire to? Secondly, the data has been useful over fourth dimension too she too her friends conduct maintain been able to suit it to suit their needs straightaway that they are adults too no longer at school. This is for sure non the source fourth dimension I conduct maintain heard of students using the data I presented too finding it fifty-fifty to a greater extent than useful years afterwards when they left school, peculiarly inwards the university context, but it is exciting to hear of an actual security strategy named after me that has been adapted for uni life!

I genuinely create believe that inwards the wellness too well-being expanse (and peculiarly inwards alcohol too other drugs) if you lot furnish immature people amongst data that they desire to know, non what nosotros believe they demand to know, you lot arrive equally practical equally possible (something they tin ship away genuinely use), they volition encompass it, suit it to their ain needs too therefore purpose it ... that's the means nosotros continue our kids equally condom equally possible!
