And as a role model, I want to inspire the youth to be educated” adding that, “this will only help in developing, not only a stronger and healthier community, but a safer one as well”.
Funny Face also stressed on the importance to just say no to bad drugs as teenagers. “Teens can become addicts more quickly than adults. Many teens drink alcohol, use drugs, or smoke cigarettes as a result of peer pressure. All of these substances can harm the teen’s brain and can have problems learning.”
