The issue of teens and drug abuse is difficult to discuss with your child. No one wants to believe that their kids may be susceptible to peer-pressure and addiction, but it does happen often, all over the world. The best way to avoid this painful experience is to have honest discussions with your children, be involved in their lives, and stay educated about what drugs your children might be coming in contact with. And if your teen does become addicted, get information and resources about treatment options as soon as possible. It's never too late to get help.
