More Teens Are Using Party Drugs
As your teenager get older and starts to find new friends, you may want to monitor and pay attention to who they are. Peer pressure and the influence of friends is a big part of almost every teen out there. One of the problems teens face is dealing with alcohol and drugs. Especially when it comes to ecstasy and prescription drug abuse. Teens will steal or buy prescription pills like Loritab and Oxycotin then they will crush them into powder and sniff it. This is the same way drug addicts use cocaine. When the pills are crushed upped and snorted they will hit the brain faster which produces a bigger and better high. Make sure you sit your teen down and let them know there are dangers when attending any type of party.
One of the main reasons teenagers are using party drugs is to deal with the stresses of life. When a teen is using drugs they can escape the realities of their lives. Parents are trying to deal with the stresses of the economy and no work so teens have no parent to talk to about the problems in their lives. Some researchers have stated that time spent is very important to teens and kids to develop into normal healthy adults.
If you are a parent you need to try and find the time to give the attention your teen needs or they will act out in different ways. As your teen turns into an adult they will appreciate the time you spent with them. However, you may be thinking that your teen want's nothing to do with you. This may be the case. You need to learn how to communicate with your teen so they understand that you are there when they need you.
