Not my kid!

Think of the last time someone you know had back surgery or maybe a route canal, and they were given a prescription for Lortab or maybe Percocet.
In high schools all over this country teens are stealing pills from medicine cabinets. Maybe that teen takes the pill because they want to get "high". Maybe they take the pills to school because they know they can make a few bucks selling them to others who want them.

That was how it started for my 12 year old daughter over two years ago. She learned in school that she could make money by selling these pills that were in such high demand. At first she would steal a pill or two and make some money doing it. Before long she was taking the pills herself. By the time she was 14 she was addicted to prescription pills, alcohol, shop lifting on a regular basis, skipping school often and runing away from home.

So before you say, "Not my kid!", ask yourself a few questions.
Where do you keep your prescriptions?
Do you know how many pills are in that bottle?
Would you recognize the signs if you saw them?

The most important thing you can do, today, is start talking to your teen. Listen to what they have to say, ask questions, and learn what their world is really like. Don't assume you know and don't judge so harshly. You don't want your teen to be the next statistic.
