Parents, Talk To Your Children
Set the tone. Start an open dialog about the use of alcohol and marijuana, and the misuse of prescription drugs and other drugs during the preteen years so your child will feel comfortable discussing these topics as they grow older.
The chances of encountering alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs and other drugs increase dramatically in high school. Be prepared, so you know the right thing to say at the right time.
