BARROS, João Paulo Pereira  and  COLACO, Veriana de Fátima Rodrigues. Drugs in School: analysis of social voices. Educ. Real. [online]. 2015, vol.40, n.1, pp.253-273. ISSN 0100-3143.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-623644605.

This article aims to analyze social voices at play in the production of meanings about drugs among adolescents in a group discussion on health in the school context. Based on Public Health and the legacy of Vigotski e Bakhtin on the processes of signification, data for a Master thesis, developed by means of participant observation and a discussion group in a public school in Fortaleza/CE, are used. The results indicate tensions between social voices on the claims of adolescents about drugs, highlighting the strength with which a speech alluding to the war on drugs and prohibitionist strategies voices still circulate in the school context, despite the emergence of the harm reduction perspective.

Keywords : Adolescence; Drugs; School.
