  • Pre-Teens and Drugs (8-16-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    It used to be that high schoolers were the most susceptible, but kids today are experimenting with drugs as early as middle school.

    If you’ve seen an unexplainable change in your ten- to fourteen-year-old child’s motivation, behavior, grades or friends, it could be that they are experimenting with intoxicating substances that are as close as your kitchen drawer, garage or medicine cabinet.

    Kids learn about every home-brewed means of intoxication from the Internet and then try them one after another. The most common is huffing aerosols, glues or fumes, or taking their parent’s prescription drugs.

    Don’t think your child is immune, even if they’re in a Christian School. Watch for the warning signs and be ready to get them tested.
