Dear Partnership,

What a wonderful job your ad campaign is doing of making moms and dads aware of the fact that parents are not the most popular folks on the planet! It is our job to set limits. I have a 15-year-old boy who calls me "ancient" and "a freakazoid mom". But I know he will be thankful later. There is a time and place for everything in life. While he has plenty of freedom, he also has plenty of boundaries and if he messes up...he has consequences.

It is not easy, but when he is out, I am more certain everyday that he will be inclined to make the right choices. So many parents are afraid to be parents in this generation. I am not sure why. Our parents were parents and we turned out to be loving of them for that! I can't say how many times my brothers and I have written cards to our parents for anniversaries or birthdays telling them THANK YOU! for being the kind of parents they were... even though we are tested all the waters! Keep up the good work! I especially like the "Interrogator" and the chocolate box that says "To Mom and Dad... I hate you".
Dear Partnership,

Great advertisement in newspaper today. "A Card For Mom & Dad - I hate You." Gets a great point across.
Dear Partnership,

Your advertisement in this weeks issue of Newsweek caught my eye. As a former pot smoker and a father to two young boys I can understand your message. And I would like to add my own. Concern and love for your children does not make you a hypocrite. Therefore do not be afraid of your past when speaking to your children about drug use.
Dear Partnership,

I appreciate those commercials on TV about parents being an effective anti-drug solution. I have two children myself. I hope that parents everywhere take your message seriously. Thank you.
Dear Partnership,

"Nicole's Story" was brilliant and so was her song. What a great help to others. I’m a Community Nurse and advise parents about drugs. I’ve never done drugs but now I can give confident advice and give them your story to read. Thank you, as you may have helped some of my patients. —Emma
Dear Partnership,

Thank you for keeping my son’s name in your Memorial Wall. Naturally I wish he were not a part of your wall. I cannot change that fact or the fact that he is gone. But when I open your web site and find his name there, it let's me know that people do care about the ones that are missing -- and the survivors, as well. —Anonymous
Dear Partnership,

I am writing because I found out about the launching of your campaign regarding Ecstasy education, and I am so glad that finally people are beginning to realize what a dangerous drug it is. Seven years ago this Saturday, I woke up in the hospital after being unconscious for three days, and after suffering seizures, heart problems and severe dehydration. I was 19 and the doctors told my mother I would probably not wake up, and if I did, there would be brain damage. It was a miracle that I was ok. To say that experience changed my life is an understatement. I am now 26, married, happy, and continually frustrated when I hear the latest reports regarding increased Ecstasy use among teenagers. They just don't know the risks. I wish there was something more I could do and I commend your efforts to educate the public. Thank you, —Clarissa
Dear Partnership,

I think the structure of your site is spot on. It caters well for your target audience and I am very impressed by the range of on-site information...I visit very many sites and I must say that on quick perusal, your site is the best I have seen. Regards, —Jim
Dear Partnership,

I wanted to let you know that your story about your Danielle Heird touched me deeply. I am doing an English paper on the drug ecstasy and I used Danielle's story as an introduction to grab peoples attention and let them know that this is real and you can die the first time you take Ecstasy and you can also die the twelfth time you take. Thanks so much for your help. You are doing a GREAT thing by putting this information on the Internet and letting teens know this is real. —Stephanie
Dear Partnership,

I wanted to get helpful information about how heroin or any other drug can effect the lives of normal people. I just really want to take the time to say thank you. When I first went on this website I was very impressed. It had everything that I needed to know about drugs and related topics. —Samantha E. Kroeplin
