What If…? explores alcohol and drugs from a youth perspective, asking students to discuss realistic strategies and alternatives for dealing with peer pressure and substance abuse.
Ryan is forced to choose between his best friend, Chris, and his girlfriend, Melissa. Ryan adores Melissa, but lately she’s been getting on his nerves to achieve high grades. On the other hand, Chris, who embodies fun, has taken to smoking weed before class – a habit that makes Ryan uncomfortable.
When Ryan, Chris and Melissa attend a party, they must choose how much to drink and whether or not to take drugs. At the end of the evening they debate who is sober enough to drive home. In an effort to please both of them, Ryan makes a decision that proves disastrous to all.
What if Ryan, Chris, and Melissa made different choices? What if their story didn’t have to end in tragedy?
