Video Reveals Startling Facts About Kids’ Drug Use

December 4, 2008

If you want to educate your kids about the dangers of drugs, it’s a little hard when you don’t understand much about them yourself. StopMethAbuse.com provides a video that educates parents about drugs. Check it out – Truth and Secrets Revealed About Drug Abuse.

Even parents who took drugs when they were younger sometimes don’t realize how the scene has changed. They’re looking for certain signs and, not seeing them, think their kids aren’t involved. But did you know, for example, that kids hide drugs in drug parphernalia in felt-tip pens? Probably not. And did you know that there’s a legal drug on the market that can be bought over-the-counter in tobacco shops that causes hallucinations more severe than LSD? Probably not.

The video includes info on drugs like heroin and cocaine, but also covers tobacco and alcohol. Arizona kids have a serious alcohol problem. According to an official survey 24 percent of eighth-graders, 39 percent of 10th-graders, and 47 percent of 12th-graders drink.

However, considering that nearly half the adults in Arizona think it’s okay for kids to drink under parental supervision, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Does it never occur to the parents that if the kids are drinking at home they’re probably also drinking elsewhere? And what about others’ kids? How do they get home safely from the home where drinking was allowed?

If you don’t want your kid to end up in an alcohol or drug addiction treatment center, watch this video. Kids whose parents talk to them about drugs and alcohol are 50% less likely to use them. But you’d better know what to say. This video will help.
