Youth Protection
Are you current on Drug Slang?
Getting educated on drug slang can save your
child's life. Kids began getting exposed to drugs as young as 10 years old.
Note the cheese problem in Dallas elementary schools. Researchers have found
that parents knew about their child's marijuana use only 26% of the time.
Parents also need to be aware of gateway drugs. Shifting from alcohol to
marijuana to prescription drugs. Don't assume high achieving kids are immune
from the drug problem. Often it's the kids that face tremendous pressure to
achieve in academics or sports that end up addicted, particularly to
prescription drugs. They start out with Xanex for anxiety and their drug use
spirals out of control. Know the signs and get educated.
