Drug Abuse Warning Signs
Drug Abuse Warning Signs
Alcohol and drug abuse can have serious tolls on the physiological and psychological health. Not only for the addict buy for family and friends as well. The situation becomes something beyond control, especially when things get abusive for everyone. The addict can’t break free from the addiction for the obvious reasons.
When this happens you will need to get help, you probably can’t do this on your own. Unless your Superman or Wonder Woman.
Drugs And Alcohol are directly related to domestic violence. Addicts often find themselves without their drug. When this happens they can get very irritable, and many times abusive. They also become abusive when using their drug of choice. Most likely if you’re reading this, someone you care about is addicted to something. Have you ever tried to come in between an addict and their drugs? Not a pretty sight. They will argue with you, tell you they hate you, and of course abuse is also a major factor.
Why do they need help?
These reasons alone are enough to get this person some help, and not to mention you. This will continue until someone takes initiative, and you know an addict won’t do this. A lot of times it seems that this person does not care about you, and that they would choose their addiction over you. They will but that is just the drugs talking. You have to jump over or push through the obstacles to handle this situation, it will take some time but it is worth it. Don’t you think?

Talking with a parent(s) about their adolescent that has committed suicide?
I am writing a research paper for my Parenting Adolescents class regarding teen suicide. I am wondering if there are any parents who have experienced this and would be willing to discuss it with me.
I am interested in learning more from a first hand perspective such as:
What was the persons age?
Was the person male or female?
Was the individual more social or isolated?
Was there any drug or Alcohol Abuse?
What led to the suicide (what were the reasons? depression, school, stress, friends…etc)
If there were any symptoms? (warning signs if any were apparent)
Did they talk about commiting suicide or hurting themselves?
Also, if there is a forum that were created for parents whose teens have committed suicide this would also be very helpful.
Thank You In Advance.
Woow! “Talking” to parents who’s teen has done this is VERY intense. It will be difficult for the parents and for you. So it would not be my choice for you…..
Another approach might be:
Do some literature searches….find books written by parents with teens who have done this. Movies about…..Articles about…..theres a lot out there…..
Also Paulo Coelho has written a book called Veronika decides to die: describes what she thinks and why.
Good luck!
