I'm not sure how worried I needed to be about some random person offering me free drugs as a fourth grader in a rural town in New Mexico, but the officer who came into our classroom as part of the D.A.R.E. program sure made me fret.

Correct Answer: Drug Abuse Resistance Education
The answer is: Drug Abuse Resistance Education. D.A.R.E. was first conceived in Los Angeles in 1983 by a bunch of adults that clearly understood how kids talk. Thanks to them, I don't have to fret when a rollerblader with his hat on backward rolls up to me and offers me unspecified drugs.The program took off, and is still around in some form today, leading to countless ironic wearings of the logo on a t-shirt.Source
