The "just say no" approach has not been helpful in keeping young people off drugs for several reasons. One of these reasons is
1. Children do not like to hear the word "no," and the approach is too negative.
2. Project DARE is more effective and has decreased drug use.
3. Children are naturally curious, and drug experimentation is often part of normal development.
4. Just saying "no" to drugs does not include smoking and alcohol abuse.

The "just say no" approach does not help young people because children are naturally curious and drug experimentation is often part of normal development, children from dysfunctional homes often use drugs to get attention and escape intolerable environments, and it does not address the powerful component of peer pressure.
