I think thats actuallty a really good reason to ask, since I see things parents don't. I don't really know a good enough answer that would actually solve the problem. For instance, I saw a guy quickly and easily slip pills into another guys hand.....teacher didn't see. In my 5th period class, I could of told you about 2-3 people that had taken pills(in class). They were talking to the teacher and everything. And I'm at the detention school....which the teachers should know that things are happening. I don't believe there is anyway of stopping it. The only way of even trying to stop it all would be to have a police dog at the door for weed, and people to search the kids right after....and I mean strip search. Since following generations advance, we find out new ways to hide things, use things, etc. So all in all, I doubt there is any way possible to make schools drug-free.
But to make your own son/daughter not do drugs or stop, it'd be best to keep an extremely close relationship to them. Be cool with them and have time to be with them and have fun. If you have problems....like debt problems, anger problems or anything, don't take your anger out on the kid. Speaking in my point of view...kids can sometimes take adult comments the wrong way. If you say something we think a lil outside the box. If you say, "your being a stupida$$" some kids think, "well I guess she doesn't like me". And if a kid keeps getting those blunt, sharp comments, they could go into a depression which would make them want to try drugs or do them more. Be careful on how and what you say. Also try to keep them in an extracurricular activity so they have less time to bother with drugs. And a good thing about a hobby, let's say, running...if they like it alot, they'll know that drugs will slow them down. They'd be less likely to try drugs because they like to run.
lol I'm running out of what to say. If you have anymore questions, I'd love to answer yours or anyones
Punababy,
I just wanted to jump in and say hey.. I am happy to see you back.. I am in Florida to and used to post to you a long time ago. I have a teenage daughter she will be 15 in May. I must say you've always sounded so mature for your age and what you've gone through. I am very proud of you.. You are still clean right? Sorry if I missed that part... If so I just wanted to say I am very proud of you and I wish you all the happiness in the world.... You are an example for many young teenagers wanting to experiment with pain pills. They could all learn something from you and your story.. Take care sweetie and why aren't you in school right now?? LOL Rae
Ps. Sorry to hi-jack your thread Kat.I am sure you don't mind huh? Have a great day you guys I am off to get my daughter from school....

Hey Punkbaby,
I want to jump on board here and congratulate you for being so mature and having the courage to do something about your problem at such a young age. (At 29, I'm usually the one around here who's the baby) I have a lot of admiration for people who come into the rooms of NA/AA in their teens or early 20's, especially since even at 29, most of my social life, even with my non-addict friends, revolves around drinking and using.
Hang in there, and thanks for being such a great example that anyone, at any age, can get recovery if they want it.

Thank you for answering, that was really sweet of you. I love your maturity and insight. We can learn from anyone of any age and today I learned from you.
I just adore my daughter and we're very close, I desperatly want it to stay that way.
I worry for her sometimes being in this world we're in. I wish I could make it safer.
I do everything I can to make her a happy, confidant and well adjusted person.
My heart started beating the day she was born.
Thanks again, Punkbaby!
