		<description>Drugs and Alcohol often change your child&#039;s behavior- often they don&#039;t seem like themselves and often progress to drastic mood swings, anger outbursts etc. Friends can also be a good indicator has he/she stopped hanging out with friends they grew up with and changed to other friends who may not be a good influence?

If he/she is withdrawn and stays in the room all the time that is a good indicator of low self-esteem or depression- especially if they show no interest in hanging out with friends on the weekend. 

The last one you can get that information from the school guidance office- you can check the dates he was missing from school i you suspect he/she is skipping. 

It&#039;s always good to be aware of what&#039;s going on with your child, however I agree with others on this board- don&#039;t search their rooms/belongings unless you have probable cause and most importantly TALK to your teens. Keeping the lines of communication open is so important, let them know you&#039;re around to help if they need/want it. 

If he is starting to get in trouble and experimenting keep a close watch on it and remember if he needs extra help/treatment the earlier you start the better off he will be. 

Good luck to you and your family!</description>

		<description>As a mom who has lived this for the last couple of years, I can tell you that the big flashing neon sign is a teen&#039;s 180 degree turn in behavior, habits and friends. The person you knew is suddenly someone you&#039;ve never seen at all. The reality is, though, it wasn&#039;t really that sudden. If you think back, the signs were all plainly there much earlier than you&#039;re comfortable admitting to yourself. For specific signs, check out the link below. It&#039;s the first in a four part series of articles on this very topic. Good luck!</description>
