Janesville Parker counselor Rebecca Schneider worked with Partners in Prevention to create the Reality Maze. Students participated in the event on Wednesday. The event is designed to show students the consequences of underage drinking and drug abuse.

Students are given scenarios and navigate the life-size gameboard where residents play the roles they do in their daily professions.

One scenario involved a student being a passenger in a drunken-driving crash. He was then strapped to the back board by emergency personnel.

Another scenario involved a student getting drunk at a party and having unprotected sex.

I wonder how big the article would be if this ws an event Craig put on. Quotes from students, staff, and administration would fill the lines.

So-called "protected" sex can end you up with a baby also..It would be good if EVERYONE giving "advice" would note that also.
