What
we would like to see..
At
the Crucial
Crew
sessions we asked the children
"
What's it like and how do you feel when you're around someone who's
been drinking?"
NOT
ONE single
child ,
out
of EIGHT
THOUSAND asked ,
gave a positive answer !
They said ..
Annoyed.
Uncomfortable.
You
can't ask them for a serious opinion..they can't give it to you.
They
talk rubbish.
Sometimes
they have unprotected sex.
Frightened.
Uncertain.
If
I'm out I worry how I'm getting home.
Unsafe.
They
make "unsensible" decisions.
Unsafe
'cos you don't know what they're going to do.
I
feel like the only sensible one left when adults drink.
Wary.
I
just want to walk away.
They're
stupid.
I
feel like the only normal one.
Sometimes
they might attack me and not know it.
Unhappy.
They
try to get you to drink.
They
don't care about what you think.
They
smell of puke and sick.
Very
Unsafe.
Left
out.
I
feel in charge.
Proud
that I haven't done it (drink).
Unlucky.
They
might get violent.
They
say stupid things and don't remember.
My
dad gives me money when he's drunk..other times he says "No".
When
we asked: "What's it like and how do you feel when you're
around someone who's been drinking?"
they
said..
Ashamed 'cause they drink too much
Their teeth are damaged & rotten
It makes people feel indestructible when they're at their most vulnerable
My brother & I have a plan to stop my dad drinking..he goes to the pub after he & mum fight
My step-dad was drunk & being sick. Mum had to clean out the sick from his throat with her two fingers so he didn't choke while he was in bed
If you drink a lot you hallucinate
My dad pats me on the head when I go to bed but when he's drunk he slaps my face
When my mum drinks and I ask her for pancakes for dinner she says "I'm not making you f...ing pancakes". But when she's not drinking she makes me pancakes
It's stupid.. people are stupid who do that
My mum won't let us go to my dads because he drinks..and I hate it beause he can't protect us
We had to go and get dad out of the bar
When my mum drinks she whacks the kitchen cupboards and makes my (4 yo) sister cry
I hate the way my dad smells when he comes home from the pub. When he smells bad like that I know he's done really bad things
People who drink have bags under their eyes and their nose is all big and really red
My older sister trips up the stairs when she comes home and uses bad language
