There are so many different kinds of drugs out there and kids are being exposed to them at younger and younger ages. Kids do not know much about drugs except what their friends tell them unless us parents talk about drugs with them. Seriously almost all of the time teens have no idea how dangerous drugs are. Be aware of any kind of substances you have in your home, whether it be alcohol, cigarrettes, prescription drugs or inhalants. Keep track of what you have in your home and if any of these things come up missing. Keep prescription drugs hidden or locked up. Remember that buying alcohol for teens in against the law. There is so much information to cover in drug use. We strongly advise you too search it out and TALK with your kids about it. Who would you rather them learn about drugs from? You guys can do this.
To get started you can visit the National Institute of Drug Abuse at http://teens.drugabuse.gov
Don't forget, your kids need you to do this.
