We fear you are about to fall down the rabbit hole dug out by your older sister, Ali Lohan. Therefore, we implore you to tune into a special presentation on Nickelodeon that we think would be beneficial to you. (We know your family is famously aligned with Disney, but you should overlook that just this once.)
Nick will be turning off the toons and putting on the news on a special segment Nick News With Linda Ellerbee called “Kids in Rehab”. The program will focus on dangers of kids suffering from substance abuse. Astonishingly, in 2007, out of the 2 million Americans admitted into rehab for substance abuse treatment, nearly 25,000 were under the age of 15!
Unbelievable and severely heartbreaking.
When asked about the program, host Linda Ellerbee said:
“We live in a culture where drug use is glamorized, and celebrities may be sending a message that going to rehab is sort of like going to a spa. But real rehab is no spa. Some brave kids spoke to us honestly about their drug abuse, what it’s like to be a kid in rehab and what it’s like to try to live clean and sober after that. And it ain’t easy.”
The program will premiere this Sunday at 8 P.M.
Write that down Ali and maybe invite Lindsay over to watch.
