I have some news
Topic: Want You To Know
Have you noticed something new on our web site, www.answersforteens.com ?  The news is that the book, FOR TEENAGERS LIVING WITH A PARENT WHO ABUSES ALCOHOL/DRUGS, can now be purchased as an ebook. The advantage to that is that you can have it on your mobile. If you need a quick answer you can do a control find (ctrl F) and get to the answer quickly. I think this is important if you are upset. Where to get help quickly? What to answer a parent who is mean? Where to go if you need to get out of the house? Go for it. Help yourself and others you know.

Something new
Topic: Can't hurt to look into it
There is so much info available about addiction and only some about those living with someone who suffers from addiction. The bigee is that addiction tends to run in families. Recent studies have shown that teenagers who have an interest in activities such as sports, belonging to a church group, doing volunteer work, building models etc. - you get the idea - do not show an interest in alcohol/drugs. What do you like to do? Pick something you truly enjoy. Explore what is available in your community and go for it.

HELP OTHERS
Topic: GO FOR IT
I often think of teenagers who live far from a town or in a small town where there are not many facilities. Many teenagers don't have access to the Internet. Oh, how I wish that those youngsters could also visit this web site. If you know someone who has the same problem as you, living with someone who suffers with addiction, invite them to view your Internet. Spend time with them. Visit Alateen on line with them. Let them browse our blogs here. Help them to look up any information that will make their lives better. Go For It.

    Why you should join Alateen or In The Rooms
    Topic: Don't be a loner

    Some teens say they don't like to join groups. Why should they talk about their problems to other people? It's embarrassing.

    It is not embarrassing. Your problem is not unique. According to National Association for Children Of Alcoholics "1 in 4 under the age of 18"  suffer living with parents who abuse alcohol and other drugs. "The worst part is, <teens> can't help themselves. "  But groups can. Call (toll-free) at 1-888-554-COAS to learn more about what help is available in your town or on line. Join Alateen, join In The Rooms. Join. Join

    WE NEED TO TALK
    Topic: It can change your life

     Some teens think pot is better than alcohol. Wrong, wrong. Neither is good. Here is some brief info from a recent study.

    A recently completed study of 20 years of research on cannabis use refuted the arguments many of marijuana advocates by proving the detrimental effects of chronic marijuana use. Novus Medical Detox (http://www.novusdetox.com/), one of the only Florida-based detox centers (http://www.novusdetox.com/) serving high-dosage drug abuse patients, maintains that the study’s results are indicative of marijuana’s true nature and the danger the substance poses to American society – as such, Novus discourages further legalization and increased public access which the facility maintains will only further contribute to the nation’s already rampant drug use and high levels of addiction.

    Here is some more info:

    • Habitual users can develop a dependence syndrome, found in around one in 10 of all cannabis users and one in six among those who start in adolescence.
    • Regular cannabis users see a doubled risk of experiencing psychotic symptoms and disorders – specifically those with a personal or family history of psychotic disorders, and if they start using cannabis in adolescence;
    • Young adults who are cannabis users “have lower educational attainment than non-using peers, but it’s [unknown] whether the link is causal”;
    • Use marijuana frequently as a young adult “approximately doubles the chance of being diagnosed with schizophrenia or reporting psychotic symptoms in adulthood.” (1) 

     

    VISIT THE STUDY AND GET MORE INFO. IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S YOUR LIFE.
