this is great. All young people should be properly educated on the facts of drugs and sexual assault. If you're interested in learning more on the subject you should check out the new documentary series "I Survived" on the Biography Channel on Mondays at 9pm ET. I previewed some episodes(I work for Bio) and saw one where a woman lives through kidnapping, rape and getting shot! Not only do you learn survival tactics but you get to see them triumph at the end! If you want to find out more about the show you can at http://www.biography.com/isurvived/ . Anyone here think they'll tune in?
