Stress. According to new data released by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, stress has overtaken 'to feel cool' and 'to have fun' as the top reason teens say they use drugs. Although overall teen drug use is declining, prescription drug abuse is rising at an allarming rate. Up to 1 in 5 teens has abused a prescription medication, and 41% think it is safer to abuse a prescription drug than an illegal drug.
If you're concerned about how stress in your child's life, please attend Parents University in Troy on August 25th. Experts in youth development will be speaking on the topic of kids and stress.
