Most parents lose track of their c h i l d r e n a f t e r eighth grade, as well as with what kind of friends their children associate with, Anastas said. And most parents know when their c h i l d r e n a r e d a b b l i n g w i t h aknhol or drugs, but the lack of communication only serves to make p a r e n t s a n d children afraid to a p p r o a c h t h e subject. "Most parents know, but they won't admit it. There's some kind of blockage there," Anastas said. "The deception goes on, and the same scenario is played out constantly." That is where the S A D D c o n t r a c t comes in, Anastas HOURS BOTH STORES: Mon.-Sat. 9-5:30, Thura. 'til S problems exist and make sure that a driving while drunk situation never exists for the parents or the students. "If you've had a few drinks at a party and you can't drive home, the irents will be to bring you home safely and thank God you had the guts to pick up a phone and call," Anastas said. Most times, peer p r e s s u r e w i l l prevent a child from calling home from a party to say they or whoever drove to the party is too drunk to drive home. The result is y o u n g p e o p l e constantly challenging death, Anastas said. "You have no right to challenge d e a t h , • ' ̂ . h e emphasized. "Don't challenge death- react to reality. You police your own. You make it so it isn't cool to drink and drive." The contract p r o m i s e s t h a t parents will not c re a t-e- a confrontation if called, but that a discussion will ensue the following morning about what happened. SADD does work, Anastas emphasized. He pointed out that during the last Christmas vacation, for the first time in 40 years, there were no teenage deaths on Long Island, N.Y., due to drunk driving accidents. "When I started this thing, three »le sitting next me said I was crazy," Anastas said. "But I'm not, because I believe in your power. If you lock in this school, this community ana your parents to this ram, I will defy i to claim you.'
