»Mrs. Potter? Since you said Sgt Quigley of the Hillcrest district. We detained two of your daughters, and brought them to the police station, it is connected with drugs. »

»Excuse me, Sergeant, should be, there was some mistake - Ms. Potter gasped - My daughters are at home in their rooms. They are sleeping!».

Indeed?

Police did not think to joke and a serious toneHe continued to inform the terrified mother. Sixteen Susan Jane and fourteen were arrested with a group of other teenagers, but Mrs. Potter, this situation seemed unbelievable. It must be an officer detained some of the other girls on the Potter family. There are young people who use drugs, but she knows it. But she and her husband lived in the most prestigious part of the city were well-educated and regularly attended church. My mother has devoted most of his family time.

Примерно так же отреагировал на это сообщение глава семейства Боб Поттер. Где они допустили ошибку? Сюзан и Джэн, симпатичные девочки, были популярны в школе, вели себя хорошо. Родители не выдавали им слишком много карманных денег и полагали, что они не спускают глаз со своих дочек. И вдруг такой удар; Сюзан сидит на героине, а Джэн уже почти пять месяцев курит марихуану!

Perhaps you too hard to believe. Perhaps you imagined quite differently at home, in which children can grow-freaks - something like those that can be found in the ghetto. But times are changing. Now addiction pulls his numerous bony hands in all homes, neighborhoods, schools and businesses. If the nightmare has not touched your family, it does not give you a guarantee that you never anything like this will not happen - especially if you are willing to admit that the trouble could knock on the door and your home.

Children get a social media networkAddiction? It is not that it is mainly young offenders. Recent studies confirm the fact that 78 percent of boys who use drugs - quiet, nice, discreet and well-mannered, but they easily fall under the influence of others and seek to please others. They have a little bit of close friends, if any, and they have more female than male interests. Addicts are often soft-spoken and gentle.

If 78 percent of people who are dependent on drugs,quiet, nice, sustained and well-educated, that, then, encourages them to use drugs? This is exactly the problem that we will explore in the pages of this book: our task - not to treat drug addicts, and help parents in drug prevention at home.
