Quotes |

“Drugs
can happen to anybody – even the ‘nice’ kids. Parents trust
the
‘nice kids’ and don't know what they’re really doing.”
“Numerous kids smoke weed and get straight A's. There have
been top students who both use and sell.”
|
| Teen
Quotes |
|
“Drug’s are especially easy to get and available
locally – kids get money from their parents.”
“Be
alert to giving money – drugs are so accessible. Trust your
instincts and don't second guess yourself if you think you had $80 in
your purse, not $40.”
|
| Teen
Quotes |
|
“Parents don't know how much kids are using.”
“Who teens hang out with is important – many don't do drugs because of
the friends they hang out with.”
