They had to go look for the drugs. Now, with the proliferation of synthetic drugs, ANY child can find drugs without even looking for it. They may just go ahead and take the drugs because kids are just impulsive. Back in the old days, most kids took drugs because they had some life issues. They had to go look for the drugs.

I now have a better understanding of how I can recognize and help my students who have these issues. I'm going to check to see what our school district's plan is if I suspect a student is having alcohol or drug abuse problems. Your web site http://talkrehab.org is really informative, and I encourage readers to visit and explore it. Chelle,
