The biggest sign of drug abuse with teens is the same behavior in the parents. If the parents have done it or are doing it, the teen is almost certain to do it.
the signs would be—they cannot motivate themselves or is that the hormone thing.
Anyway….here is a site…http://www.drugabuse.com
Lethargy (tired all the time, not having any motivation) is probably the NUMBER ONE SIGN.
Being argumentative, drop in grades at school, and a host of other not so subtle problems seem to develop. The below site might help.
no but i can tell you from personal experience. i generally spent most of my time away from home, and when i was at home, i avoided my dad. try searching the bedroom. one of my favorite places to hide stuff in was a book that i cut the middle of the pages out of. you have to look EVERYWHERE. you could also do a drug test, but that has a way of causing a lot of mistrust towards you.
red eyes also the behavor his is withdrown, the grads are down. he is all way angery. try teen drugs.com. or drug abuse.com or .org.
I don’t know a site offhand but I’d google “teen drug abuse” in quotations and see what you find.
If parents don’t exercise any interest in their child’s life, or aren’t around much, it is sometimes a risk for kids to fall into the wrong groups.
Drug abuse ranges from occasional pot smoking to more serious problems like heroin. If your child is on heroin you’d probably know it. Weight loss, grey skin, possibly lesions, and ‘tracks’ up and down the arms and possible backs of legs or hands and feet. Probably a withdrawn personality, fewer and fewer friends, plummeting grades and lots of money mysteriously missing.
Well first off, make sure he is “abusing” it. My parents tried to convince me I was “abusing” marijuanna and that they know whats best for me. Well I ignored them and D.A.R.E and here I am 8 years later, a graduate of Wharton business school from UPenn with a B.S in Management Information Systems and doing quite well for myself I must say.
There are many sites like webmd.com Also, i am a former drug abuser when i was a teen so look for laziness, red bloodshot eyes, lack of energy, lack of doing things they used to like to do. Also, when your around them. Smell is a key too, if they put off an odd smoke smell then i would be concerned.
