In our experience, successful anti-alcohol work in the school must have a clear idea of ​​the achieved level of ideological and moral development of pupils and, in particular, about their attitudes to alcohol.

Each year we conduct an anonymous survey of students in classes VI-X. The answers to our first questionnaire (1984), we hit: nearly 70% of teenagers justified the use of alcohol.

Students of classes VI-VII are mainly associated with this tradition: "The man drinks, when the New Year, a birthday ..." On the existence of drinking habits in the family children learn at an early age (remember the stories of kindergarten teachers on how to, playing, Children represent the feast, clink, toast). Holiday and alcohol - these concepts are so combined in the representation of students that require a great effort of Pedagogical staff, families, public alcohol education to the children did not arise from such associations.

Eighth-graders to justify the use of alcohol a negative emotional state: "A man drinks when he hill", "when he was bad." It is no secret that in this age kids are trying alcohol. The fact that older teens having their own problems: the definition of life path, career choices, lifestyle, a decision which they sometimes are not ready. Our goal - to raise their ability to solve problems without resorting to alcohol.

Some of the students condemned the use of alcohol: "I do not understand Never" - or a person drinking: "He's not human!" Negative attitudes to drunkenness, according to our observations, is more common in children's groups with a high level of ideological and moral development. Indeed, a person with a strong sense of self-worth, responsibility does not allow bad habits to yourself. Guys, condemning the use of alcohol, we involve the promotion of healthy lifestyles.

The level of alcohol knowledge, we also determined anonymously. The guys were supposed to complete the sentence: "Drink alcohol is bad because ..." The first survey (in 1984) has shown that many students know about the bad effects of alcohol consumption: 8% of the guys wrote that drinking is not harmful, 30% allow the use of alcohol in small doses. Some pointed out that alcohol is harmful to human health that its use affects the offspring. But the students did not associate it with the use of offenses losses in the economy, family disintegration, child-rearing. Since, according to many educators and psychologists, health is not a fundamental value for adolescents, information about the dangers of alcohol need to show students different aspects of the problem, make greater use of alcohol education opportunities for school subjects: history, civics, literature, ethics and psychology of family life, foundations of the state and law, etc.

Plan alcohol education students in our team is tailored to the analysis of students' attitudes to alcohol and their specific knowledge of its dangers. It contains three sections: "alcohol education in the learning process," "after-hour alcohol education work for students and parents", "Work Administration, party, Komsomol and trade union organizations to control the alcohol education."

In the first section, in accordance with an instruction letter "On alcohol education students" (Sat. orders № 30, 1985) are the main topics the curriculum subjects, when considering that the teacher should highlight this problem. For example, when studying the lessons of history in the V class, so "Life and education of the Spartans", "Hellenic culture", "Life and Culture of Rome" reveals the essence of drunkenness as a social phenomenon, which is largely generated by an exploiting classes to intoxication, and increased exploitation of workers masses.

And in the course "Ethics and psychology of family life", we show the negative impact of alcohol on the strength of family ties and the ethics of the relationship of the spouses. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse a harmful effect on the psyche and health of children, are responsible for approximately 47% of divorce cases.

When studying in class IX Dostoyevsky novel "Crime and Punishment," the teacher emphasizes how detrimental effects of alcohol on the person, as this problem is closely intertwined with the theme of human suffering, the humiliation of man, the loss of his morals and dignity.

In the second section of the plan "after-hour work for alcohol education pupils and their parents' plan to work senior lecturers and parents on this issue, children's theater" Rainbow ", provides for a" round-table)), conferences, classroom hours of conversations involving doctors , lawyers, students, parents, lectures, organized by the school that members of society "Knowledge", etc.

In the third section, "The work of administration, the party, Komsomol and trade union organizations to control the alcohol education," stated theme of the party, trade union and Komsomol meetings, meetings of the party bureau of the Komsomol committee and administrative meetings related to alcohol education, working with "difficult", the organization leisure students.

High school students - members of the lecturers (the head - a biology teacher Belyaeva EI) is carried out, such discussions in the classroom hours, "On the influence of alcohol on the body of a child," "drunkenness - a satellite of crime", "The effects of alcohol on the offspring," " Drink parents - children suffer, "" informal youth associations. "

In the school theater "Rainbow" we watched movies, and later discussed the problems of young people searching for meaning in life: "Forgive me, Alyosha," "Boys," "cracker," "Games for children of school age," "Farewell, green summer!" "Scar", "Superior Court", "Dear, dear, beloved, the only one." We invite discussion on these kids, teachers from other schools of Moscow, will organize a meeting with workers of art, journalists and writers.

We practice screenings, meetings with narcologists and during school-wide parent meetings.

Much attention is paid to the school and leisure activities. The boys, along with teachers develop cultural programs for discotheques, theater studio members spend Christmas party, at the request of concerts, festivals.

In Tushino district of Moscow became the traditional "round tables", to conduct involving drug treatment specialists, employees of the police, prosecutor's office. Our students are always ready for such talks, ask interesting questions, try to be candid in his conversation on such a sensitive topic.

The guys do a lot for yourself: analyze survey results, taking into account the results of ztih with teachers determine the subject of conferences on anti-alcohol propaganda, pick up materials to them and spend them.

Thus, the conference "Sobriety - normal life," prepared under the direction of senior subject teachers. Boys and girls were on it the name of "sociologist," "chemist," "lawyer", "historian", "the economist", "doctor", "political commentator" and tried to answer the questions that interest students.

Conferences, interviews - an interesting case for students. They learn to hold an audience, to defend their own opinions, to persuade. Playing the guys in the neighborhood. Often tied interesting conversation with adults. For example, in one of the shops of the plant, the chief came to the students working. "Let's say - one of them said, - I drink, and most recently" tied. " Absolutely. And I still have money. Where am I to Dan? After all, we did not buy a good 136. "-" Have you been to the theater have been? "- She asked Kate Chegorskaya tenth grade. In the conversation, and joined the other guys. They have shown the possibility to spend the money: to make trips to his native land, travel around the country and abroad to buy books, engage in collecting, make donations to various funds.

Typically, adult students are asked: "And you yourself, sons, drink, smoke?" Of course, the guys try to conform to the ideals to which the call of others.

It is important for our guys had a meeting with American and Swedish experts in the field of alcohol education. Students told the guests about the study, anti-alcohol work, questioned what was happening in their countries to combat addictions. Smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs, becomes merely unfashionable, this thesis is remembered for foreign visitors to our students. Speaking to foreign experts, the guys have seen again how important for a man healthy lifestyle, if in all countries, people are thinking about how to achieve it.

As a result of a purposeful change in the attitude of students in our school to drink alcohol. Graduates tend to become active advocates for sobriety, and in universities and in industry.
