Editor: Teaching young people to "just say no" is good in that it's like the parental instructions of Proverbs 1:8-9 -- "a graceful ornament on your head, and chains about your neck." But as experience has shown, young people -- especially Christians -- must also be encouraged to appropriate these lessons for themselves, maturing to the point (as described in Prov. 2:10) where "wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul."
