About The Above the Influence Program:
Above the Influence has since transitioned away from federal oversight (as of March 2014), and is now a program of the non-profit Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. The campaign was, and continues to be inspired by what teens have told us about their lives, and how they deal with the influences that shape their decisions.
Every teen’s life is filled with pressure, some of it good, some of it bad. Our goal is to help teens stand up to negative pressures, or influences. The more aware you are of the influences around you, the better prepared you will be to face them, including the pressure to use drugs and alcohol. We’re not telling you how to live your life, but we are giving you another perspective and the latest facts. You need to make your own smart decisions.
The National Website for The Above the Influence Program can be found here.
Questions and Answers:
You may have questions about what if certain drugs are dangerous or how they can affect your body. Some of those answers can be found on the Frequently Asked Questions Page or the Experts Weigh In section of the Above the Influence National Website.
Quiz:
You can take a Quiz to find out how well you are doing standing up to peer pressure and staying above the Influence.
If you have an event or program that you think the Whittier students should get involved with; please email the Above the Influence Advisors (Ms. K Parsons, Ms. Bellamo, Mr. G Davis, Ms. S Hatchell, Ms. Ureña)!
