You are a good parent and you have been very careful raising your kids. Now that they are teens you worry a little about the teen scene. You trust you kids good judgment, but often worry about some of their friends and the stories you have heard out there. You have also heard stories from your friends and at a neighborhood watch community meeting you went to a couple of years ago. You are aware of the teenagers, high-schoolers and young adults in your community and their party habits. You know of the police breaking up the parties and you also personally know who some of the troublemakers are. You are worry about the ‘crystal meth,’ which is running ramped in the area and you suspect some of your children’s friends of using these drugs on occasion. You are pretty certain that your child is smarter than that, but it bothers you at times.

Well, how certain are you that your kids will not try the drugs too? Did you know that fourteen hundred teens die from drug and alcohol partying every year? Often teens find themselves under severe peer pressure and are only interested trying out once because all their friends are or have. So often it is during these times of experimenting that these kids get themselves into trouble. They try it, then under clouded and altered judgment do not stop and end up in a terrible situation. Don’t let your teens die from drug or alcohol abuse. Think on this.
