Since we're currently reminiscing about the good old days, this fits perfectly:
Christiane F. Syndrome is repeating itself

Moin!

Very interesting article by neurobiologist Prof. Christian Lüscher. ​
Immune to Addiction
Some people use drugs without ever becoming addicted.
Others quickly become addicted.
What distinguishes them?

I saw this movie as a young teen and it scared me off heroin for life.
I barely remember it today except for the withdrawal/detox scenes. Those were brutal.
Same here, never heroin…and no other hard drug (cocaine, speed, meth, etc.).
And no whatever chemical drug else, (Valium & Co.).
The
shock
hit us both in the right place.
Yah, the movie and the book are both painfully realistic.
In a way, the book is almost more brutal.
The first book, on which the film is based, was written by two journalists (biography).
They actually just wanted to publish some articles about the drug scene.
After the interview with Christiane, it became a book…and then a movie.
The second book about her later life was written down by journalist Sonja Vukovic
according to interviews with Christiane. (autobiography).
I don't know the series.
Sorry, I'm writing in such detail because I've just read the nonsense in the other thread.

Hmmm, well…now I feel really old.

Today is
International Woman's Day
again! 🫂​​​​🫂​
Somehow I don't feel like celebrating, as many others don't.
My thoughts are with the brave women in Ukraine ​…and their brave men. ​

Today's
International Woman's Day

(Internationaler Frauentag / Weltfrauentag).
As every year our men please us on the streets in good ways.
Some men hand over red roses.
One wrote a "text-hymn".

Texthymne zum Internationalen Frauentag
8. Mrz 2016
Liebe Frauen und Mdchen in unseren schnen Landen
und unserem Berlin hrt mir einmal zu.
Die Gleichberechtigung von Euch liegt mir besonders am Herzen,
denn damit kann man nicht scherzen.
Ihr Frauen sollt es wissen,
zur Liebe gehrt nicht nur das Kssen.
Nein, auch beim Beischlaf msst Ihr selbst entscheiden knnen,
um mit Eurem Mann zu pennen.
Ihr braucht nicht mehr eine Ausrede,
wie zum Beispiel: "Ich habe Migrne."
Dafr verliert kein Mann eine Trne.
Sagt einfach zum Mann "Ich hab' keine Lust",
beim GSV heute Abend nur Frust.
Den Mdchen sage ich fr das erste Mal,
auch Ihr sollt entscheiden, wann das erste Mal sein soll.
Aber nur mit Verhtungsmitteln bis zum Ende Eurer Ausbildung,
um eine ungewollte Schwangerschaft zu vermeiden.
Diese Zeilen schrieb fr Euch Frauen und Mdchen

Text-Hymn for the International Woman's Day
8. March 2016
Dear women and girls in our beautiful land
and our Berlin listen to me once.
Your equal rights are very important to me,
there's no kidding.
You women should know,
for love is not just kissing.
No, even about intercourse you must be able to decide yourself,
to kip with your husband.
You need no longer an excuse,
such as: "I have migraines."
For this no man loses a tear.
Just say to the man, "I have no desire."
the intercourse tonight frustration.
To the young girls I say for their first time,
You shall also decide yourself when the first time is supposed to be.
But only with contraceptives until the end of your education,
in order to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.
These lines were written for you women and girls by
Klaus L.

That's neither Goethe nor Schiller but for his special "text-hymn" Klaus got a kiss on his cheek.
Yes, we love our men even if they're lefties.
And our men love us even though we like to be
difficult

My oldest is 13,5 and the second is 11,5 (he was definitely to young but as the second child its very difficult to separate them)
I think maybe it was too harsh for my children. They were in a state of shock.
But we discussed after this for a long time and that brought us very near.
It can be your best friend or your girlfriend you have this huge crash on.
I just want them to feel prepared to say NO.
More and more the parents arent important , friends are.

Well, the development of children is quite different, even inside the same family.
Basically your children are old enough for this movie.
Christiane Felscherinow was 12 when she started drugs, with 14 heroin-addicted.
Yes, reality can be harsh and shocking.
And true, friends become more important.
While parents always have a special position during the whole life.

She was one of the reasons that I never used any drugs.
Yesterday I watched this with my children and hope it had the same impact.
Thanks Christiane.
For sure the movie had an impact!
Provided your children are old enough.
No discussion after you watched it?
Hey, her new book is worth to read also.
Interesting, how her life went on.
And no glorification of drugsnot at all!
