Kids and Substance Abuse PDF

A Guide for Parents

More than ever, children and adolescents face enormous pressure to do well in school, excel in sports and be in the "in" crowd. But perhaps the biggest pressure they'll face is the one to use drugs, alcohol or prescription medications. As a parent, you can help child say no to these dangers. Answer "yes" or "no" to the following questions on this checklist. If you answer "yes" to two or more questions (especially questions 1 or 2), consult your child's physician or school counselor for advice on talking to your child about substance abuse.

Question Yes No
1. Do your child's friends seem like drug or alcohol abusers or have a bad reputation?
2. Do you feel in your gut that your child is using drugs?
3. Do other family members (parents, grand-patents, siblings, etc.) have a history of drug or alcohol abuse?
4. Is your child bringing home bad grades on papers or exams?
5. Have you had calls about incomplete or missing assignments from teachers?
6. Have coaches or athletic instructors expressed a fall-off of motivation or teamwork?
7. Is your child moping or depressed?
8. Have any of your child's friends had run-ins with the authorities as a result of drugs of DUIs, possession of drugs or alcohol or car crashes?
9. Do you suspect that your child may have had an early onset of sexual activity?
10. Has your child complained of cold or flu symptoms until you, a physician or someone else have given them medicine?
11. Has anyone in your household complained of missing medicines?
12. Do you feel your child may have low self-esteem even if you don't know how to measure that?
13. Has your child managed to avoid participating in school or church groups?
14. Have you found pills, alcohol, cigarettes or other strange items in your child's bedroom?
