A LOT times parents turn a blind eye to the problems that deserve attention. If you suspect your child is involved in the use of drugs or alcohol, do not be rebuffed.
You instead have to swiftly take action before it becomes a bigger problem. "When the child's age between 13-18 years, an essential moment for parents to continue to be involved in the lives of children," said Amelia M Arria, PhD, Director of the Center for Adolescent Health and Development at the Maryland School of Public Health.
It is said Amelia, parents may think that their teen is trying to consume liquor is an ordinary thing. Because they were when younger to do the same. "But keep in mind, the risk is greater now," he said.
Especially if you see today are more widely available drugs both legal and illegal, for example, cough medicines containing DXM ( dextromethorphan ) that is now the choice of new drugs among teenagers. DXM easily obtained while teens and parents underestimate the material.
Research shows 70-10 percent of adolescents in the United States reported taking cough medicine to get a sense of comfort ( high ). Although not harmful if taken as directed, DXM can cause hallucinations similar to PCP or ketamine use if consumed in excess.
Other side effects, unconsciousness, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Therefore, pay attention to the movements of children that are not reasonable. Such as changes in attitude, appearance, academic achievement, and friends hang out.
If you find an empty package of cough medicine or no medicine that was lost in the closet P3K at home, or find a pill, a pipe, until the paper is rolled up and lighters, suspect a child uses drugs.
Watch for sig ns of seriously and immediately take a stance. For the sake of knowing the negative behavior of children, parents may be out of control. Various punishments were given and the house no longer feels comfortable. Conversely, there are also parents who just avoid conflict for fear the child will run away from home.
