What to tell a teenager about drugs
Article Abstract:
Parents must give continuous, informed, and sincere input to teenagers in order to be effective in discouraging drug use. Parents should be specific in the negative effects that illicit drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol have on the human body. This approach enables teenagers and parents to move away from a heated debate over morals or theory, and focus on medically proven facts. Information on the specific effects of the most prevalent illicit drugs is given.
