[QUOTE="maril, post: 227970, member: 5937"] As you may know, alcohol and drugs are big problems here in the US. We can educate young people, admonish them, encourage abstinence, etc., but how do we deal with the social pressures and easy accessibility to drugs and alcohol when so many young ones are targets? AND how do we deal with consenting and apathetic parents or caregivers??? I remember years ago, when my daughter was in high school, there was a meeting conducted by a DARE officer (acronym for Drug Abuse Resistance Education; maybe you have this in Canada as well?) with parents in attendance and, at one point, he mentioned what makes it more difficult to discourage substance use by teens is the fact that there are [I]parents who party right along with their kids[/I]... It sounds like you might be someone who could have a positive influence on these kids you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
