These days, drugs, alcohol and tobacco are common and can be found everywhere,
and it may seem like everyone's using them. They are found in every environment

provide. While others think they will make them more popular or better athletes.
Some are just curious and think it will not hurt them.
Peer pressure
is also a major influence. Many parents believe that their children will not
listen to them over their friend's peer pressure but the truth is many kids do
listen to their parents.

at first, they can ultimately do a lot
of harm to the body. Drinking alcohol,
smoking tobacco, taking illegal drugs
can cause serious damage to your
children. Some drugs severely impair a

drugs are more likely to get involved in
dangerous situations, such as driving
under the influence or having
unprotected sex.

alcohol, and tobacco usage while others deal with more advanced substance abuse
problems and offer solutions. Our Teen Substance Usage Education Resources Store
