Avoid the Cliff  

Information Every Teen

Needs to Know 

By Marilyn Morris, Founder/President

            

Did you know Marijuana use among teens has skyrocketed?

 

Teen Heavy Marijuana Use is up 80% since 2008.

 

1 in 10 teenagers are now Heavy Marijuana Users.

 

HEAVY MARIJUANA USE -

Using marijuana at least 20 times a month

 

With the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington, it's fairly safe to assume teenage consumption will continue to rise. After all, if Pot has acquired a legal status somewhere in America, it must be safe. Right?  . . .  Wrong.  CLICK TO READ MORE

A great big Thank You to everyone who has made these 20 years so successful. Thanks to all who have opened doors so your students could participate in the Aim For Success presentations. Thank you to those who have opened your wallets and supported us financially. Your generosity has allowed us to keep the cost of our programs at a reasonable rate schools can afford. Thank you to all the past and present personnel - office staff and speakers - for your invaluable contributions. Without you, none of this would have been possible. And with that said, we at Aim For Success look forward to continuing our partnership with you as we help young people avoid the risks of sexual activity, drugs and bullying.

Welcome Dr. Joe McIlhaney

 

  

We welcome Dr. Joe McIlhaney, founder of The Medical Institute for Sexual Health (MI), to the Aim For Success Board of Directors.

 

Dr. McIlhaney is a prominent obstetrician/gynecologist and infertility specialist. In the early 1990s, he observed many women needed infertility and cancer treatment for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) they had acquired years earlier. He also realized the extraordinary magnitude of the STI epidemic. He founded MI in response to these findings. Today, Dr. McIlhaney is well known across America for his vast contributions to abstinence education. It is a privilege to welcome Dr. Joe McIlhaney to Aim For Success!

A Few Comments after recent  

Aim for Success Presentations:

After AFS Anti-Bullying Programs

Within minutes of you leaving, a "situation" came up at lunch and about 10 or 15 people walked over and stood up for the victim of bullying. You made a huge difference in my school today. Thank you!  - Post on the AFS Facebook Page after a recent AFS anti-bullying presentation

 

This was a great presentation. The real world examples were wonderful. -Principal, South of San Antonio

 

I work with students with disabilities and I think this is an eye opener for all students. - Teacher South of San Antonio, TX

 

After AFS Abstinence Programs

I feel complete remorse for having sex. I will be purchasing a purity ring and practicing abstinence.  - 14-year-old guy Richardson, TX Middle School

 

This program helped me realize sex is not good for teens. - 17-year-old-guy near Corpus Christi

 

Fantastic presentation that will help our students make wise decisions that will insure their health and happiness for the rest of their life. THANK YOU! - Health Service Coordinator near San Antonio

 

After AFS Drug Prevention Programs

The program was great and I will stop dipping. - 14-yr-old guy Central Texas

 

If I could, I would come back with more people and family members.  - 15-yr-old guy Central Texas

 

This was awesome! I already knew I wasn't going to do drugs, but now you took a fun new approach to the topic and I now know I am absolutely sure.- 15-yr-old girl Central Texas
