Do you enjoy having a good time no matter the consequence? Would you take recreational drugs if they where given to you? Would you take recreational drugs if your friends did? Are you easily persuaded? Are you influenced by peer presure? Do you enjoy partying? Are you easily led astray by others?

I guess to be completely honest it's really hard to say anything to a teen using drugs... I guess it's really the age. I was fifteen when I started smoking weed and doing coke and ectasy and acid... Oh and drniking of course and smoking cigarettes....I tried talking to my mom because in the beginning I was just curious but I noticed it was turning into a habit and when my mother started calling me names and calling me a drug addict and throwing everything I trusted her with in my face I got worse.. All I can say to you is to let them know that you love them and remind them of all the good memories you had with them when they were born. Just remind him/her how important they are to you and they can trust you..At one point I thought my life was already so messed up I couldn't mess it up anymore.. I was afraid I dug myself so deep that drugs and drinking were my life... I turned into a blackout drunk and I got into xanax and I passed out at some places not remembering anything the next day. I surrounded myself with bad friends who were also the main reason I did wut I did because I wanted to belong... I ended up getting suicidal because from all that it turned into a depression.. I felt like I was never gonna get better... I thought I was dying and I estimated my life to end at thirty from some disease or from hurting myself. I felt worthless... But one day I woke up... I saw my family and saw how I was hurting my dad... The one who stuck by me thru everything and I was just watching him wither away...I decided it was time for me to get rid of those friends because they were my greatest influence and when I didn't have money they'd be right there helping me out because they needed someone to go down with them... Finally I met my current boyfriend and he was my fresh start.. He never used drugs and yes he drank but socially. I decided I wanted to get a job.My parents were finally proud of me... Trusted me.. And that meant everything to me. I had officially quit my crazy lifestyle... But I knew it was super official the day I found out I was going to have a baby... I felt like my life was finally falling into place... That was my new reason for living and stop being selfish to myself and my family... But i'll be completely honest if I hadn't gotten rid of those friends right now I'd be dead from a car accident because when your messed up you don't realize the result of the bad descisions you make like driving... And if not that I'm pretty sure I would have died from an incurable std or overdosing... I was extremely promiscuous at that time in my life but I did stop when I met my boyfrind... But when I went to the doctors and had all my tests done everything came back fantastic and I knew that everything from that point on had completely changed.. That God had blessed me with so much that I had taken for granted and from that point on I had a new greater apprectiation for life... And I would never go back.. Ever... Tell them there's hope and that you'll be there no matter what..But don't go overboard where they can't breathe lol...I think a part of the problem is also that the parent might not be strict either though.. If things get out of hand and nothing works unfortunately tough love is the hardest to do but probably the other best way to go... The idea of losing everyone that loved you and never judged you are gone is the hardest thing to cope with... But theres not always a positive result with everything...Have a lot of faith... If the drugs takes over know that deep down that's your baby and they need help, support, attention, sometimes maybe not as much... But don't makes thing easy for them either... I had friends whos parents gave them evrything and with that money was the way we got everthing we needed to get messed up every night... I would say rehab but for some people it could be a phase... If addiction is a problem in your family then drugs and alcohol will be a problem with your child unless you do something now.. I know I wrote so much but I hope with my story you can get an idea or somehing out of it but there's no best advice.. It's whatever works for your child..You can do it and I'm sure your child will get through it.. Oh and by the way rehab works for some.. If it gets to that point suggest a rehab but not a regular detox where they just ween you off the drug go full force at least three months plus...Well alright I'm going to stop before it turns into a novel but good luck and God Bless...

Talk to them like them openly and without harsh words. Tell them of some people that have died way too young because of drugs (Janis Joplin, John Belushi, River Phoenix..) or remind them of people you know or maybe that are famous that are in and out of rehab. Anyone can become addicted and if they want to totally screw up there lives, then drugs will do it. Talk to them even sooner if possible. Talk to them like them openly and without harsh words.
