I am going to publish some of the great comments the kids made to me via Facebook or emails or verbally. They are amazing.
1. "When you said " When you buy a drug, your helping kill another human" It hit me, and I used it on one of my friends because I am really against pot ect. And anyone I hang around with does it. You know how the skateboarders are. Either way good kids, but I kept calling my friend a murderer and he said "I know, I wish I could stop, its just the kids I hang around with" So I hope that knocked some sense into him."
2. "id just like to say thanks for coming to our school that your speach was amazing, all my friends were talking about "T.J's story". one boy in my class asked what T.J's story was...and everybodys answer was the same "you trully have to be there and hear it to understand it " well thanks for coming once again and T.J's story really helped me to see how bad you get get in to drugs. p.s keep it up and im sure at least one or two or even more people in my school have been motavated to change there ways because nobody not even you should have to go through what you did. so all i have to say now is plz keep doing what you are doing!!!"
3. " I also wanted to inform you that one of my friends who is a major marijuana user is trying to quit after hearing your story. I just thought I should let you know that you are making a difference by telling his story, no matter how difficult it may be. "
4. "I just wanted to say thank you for coming to speak to us today what you do is an amazing thing and i wish you and your family the best"
5. "A lot of the people around me still do use drugs. After your presentation today, however, they've taken a step back to look at the whole perspective of things! You really are a brave and strong man to be able to go in front of large crowds and talk about your son like that. I would have never had the strength to do so."
6."I really enjoyed your speech today in the afternoon, it takes some big guts to tell everyone about what happened to your son and what horrible things that go on in this world, its scary. Keep Moving forward with everything your doing, to help with drug related problems that we have in this world!!! I for sure will, I have never been involved with drugs or even tried it and your story is going to be the reason why I will never do drugs in my life. One of the better role models i know now :D"
7. "Thank you so much for comming to West K; the story of your son && the drug dealing may have just helped another life, i know someone who plans on dealing, i mean, nothing big, just weed, but now i know that i will need to convince him that is NOT a good idea. "
