Children and Drug Abuse:

          Is There A Problem? Consider the following:

          Does the child seem to be changing?

          Is the child becoming less responsible?

          Is the child changing friends, dress code, or interest?

          Is the child more difficult to communicate with?

          Is the child beginning to show physical and/or mental
          deterioration?

          Is the child's behavior becoming more intolerable?

          Is the child becoming careless in his/her drug use?

          Is the child becoming drug dependent?

          Does the child attempt suicide?

          As a parent, it is extremely important that you be
          actively involved in your child's life. No one
          knows your child more than you do. If you think
          there is a problem, there probably is. Don't wait for
          things to get worse. If your child is using, there are
          three outcomes: jail, institutions, or death.

          Some drugs are physically addictive after just one usage.

          Some drugs can kill the first time they are used.

          Think about it.

          lurking in a prescription bottle.
