 S.A.D.D.:
Students Against Destructive Decisions help to run campaigns
that will remind students to make positive choices. In 1981,
Robert Anastas, a high school coach in Wayland, Massachusetts,
lost two of his hockey players in two separate traffic crashes.
They both involved alcohol and not wearing safety belts. He
helped them to organize and address this deadly occurrence.
Mobilized into action by grief over the deaths of their friends
and in the spirit of taking control of the problem, the first
SADD chapter was started. SADD's mission is to provide students
with the best prevention and intervention tools possible to deal
with the issues of underage drinking, drunk driving, drug use,
and other destructive decisions. SADD is dedicated to A "NO USE"
message regarding underage drinking and illegal drugs, the
elimination of death due to drinking and driving, and addressing
"destructive decisions" related to alcohol and other drugs,
violence, tobacco, teen pregnancy, etc. SADD promotes a clear
"NO USE" message regarding underage drinking. SADD believes you
cannot speak of responsible drinking to underage individuals
because there is no such thing as responsible illegal drinking.
SADD's philosophy
is simple: If the problem lies with teenagers... the solution
lies with teenagers. SADD opposes alcohol and other drug use -
not the abusers themselves. The SADD message is one of caring
not judging. SADD wants to reach all students, families, and
communities with their healthy lifestyle message.
