There is a growing number of kids/teens in suburbs using. High income neighborhoods.
I think this is because of shitty parenting. Dickscrape parents not involved in their kids lives.
Am I right?:shrug:
I can attest to that. My niece was admitted into rehab for being addicted to multiple drugs. Not heroin at this point but I figure in the near future it will probably happen. She started smoking pot, then moved to painkillers when she had a knee injury. Although my sister and BIL blame the Dr's because they prescribed her the medications. Nothing Taylor ever does is her own fault, they find fault in everyone else. She wasn't doing her rehab on her knee from her surgery so she was in a lot of pain and was taking extra medication and the dr was keeping her prescription filled on the basis that she was doing her rehab. Then she was buying hardcore stuff and mixing it, stealing painkillers and other drugs from her parents. My sister has MS and my BIL has a magnitude of back, neck, etc. etc. "I need pills to live" issues. She almost OD'd and they took her to the hospital and had her admitted into rehab and of course told everyone it wasn't her fault. Now she moved in with her low life boyfriend in a town about 15 miles away that is "drug central". In this case yes I have to say my Sister and BIl are bad parents because they are enablers. They never pushed their kids to do anything with their lives. They want to be their kids friends instead of a role model or parent figure. Most of the kids in this town that you know are on drugs are unsupervised kids that were under achievers in school and barely got by or flunked out. They are also welfare cases, who have no jobs, and no skills. There are the occasional high income kids that we see and those too are unsupervised, popular kids, who do what they want and their parents worry more about being their friend than their parent. We don't have too many "high income" families in this town. I can say that there is NOTHING in this town to do. The last thing we had was the bowling alley and that closed up when the owners retired and the bank bought the building and converted it into more office space. We have a curfew of 10pm and I can say that the cops are good about enforcing it. They also know who to keep an eye on and who to go to when there are signs of "trouble".
The sad thing is my nephew is a hell of a good football player and he was asked to go to a combine in California- they wouldn't let him go because they don't want him to go to college because my sister doesn't want her kids to leave the household. Now that my niece has moved out my nephew takes the brunt of the stress from their parents. He has been accepted to the California University of Pennsylvania and I hope to hell he gets there and gets away from his parents or he will never amount to anything. Bad parents indeed.
Do they have the D.A.R.E. Program in your schools?
