Teen drug addicts are on the rise and is one of the predisposing factors is the refusal of parents and the school systems. A problem with addiction is easily tolerated in the inner cities as a byproduct of the difficult living conditions.
Admitted to the suburbs from affected and it is difficult for the parents and school systems, there is a problem at all and therefore get everyone who sees it differently. In our local Regional High School is a student assistanceCounselor and only in the last year they institute random drug testing for all students. Prior to drug testing was reserved only for the participation in sport. If a child tests positive for drugs or alcohol, the child faces mandatory suspension.
After his return to school of the child 2-3 times with the Student Assistance Counselor and then again life as if nothing has happened. I personally have parents that the school under the taskrequested that their child will be tested at all. Well-meaning teachers often look away when they presented with signs of a child under the influence. This happens especially if the teenager in question is not a problem in the class.
After I had a conversation with the Student Assistance Counselor, he confirmed what I know for some time. The parents are in denial about the drug problem. Each year, beginning in high school, they run a program on drug useAlcohol and awareness of the parents. Identified in a school population of more than 1100 students only a handful of parents. This is true despite the fact that there have been several heroin overdose to the death of the students in the region.
It seems that some parents actually buy the beer for their minor children with the condition that each must have a drink this evening to stay and not drinking to drive. Perhaps they draw false comfort from the fact that theyControl of the situation. When children feel free to drink at home, they will drink it is not necessary, outside the home.
The teenager must break, hopefully the right ethical decision, even though it may sound good, the law on drinking at home, it would not be in order, the law in other situations, such as breaking experiment with drugs, drink driving, speeding etc.. It is unfair that they should bear the burden of these conflicting messages.
Given the factthat they are teenagers, they have not always act as if their parents could hope for. Teens are so great for this problem, black or white.
Teen drug abuse is almost always in part because this kind of rejection. A school system sees the benefits of not carrying a heavy drug or alcohol problem within the framework of their students. The negative impact of such a problem would lead to a worse assessment of the school system as a whole. This helps the managementto not turn a blind eye when a least a very short-sighted one, to the actual problems with drug abuse is experienced by the students.
Teen drug addiction and teen addiction as a whole is a far-reaching and complex subject. It needs to be answered on many different levels. The fact that should be the parents of adolescents and the school system, which is heavily involved in its growth, the adults in this situation, at least a spark to work more unified effort to beon behalf of young people. Perhaps it is time that both of them in this difficult situation look with open eyes. Teen drug addiction can not be prevented but we must at least try to make every effort to young people a better choice for themselves.
