Parents are usually the last to know, which is why you have to act swiftly if your child's life is endangered by abusing drugs.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Knowledge and close obervation of your child's personality and habits
A home drug testing kit (optional)

Step 1: Note altered eating and sleeping patterns

Note your child's altered eating and sleeping habits, like poor appetite and insomnia. Sudden desires for sweets as well as weight loss indicate addictive swings typical of drug use.

Step 2: Change in interests

Take seriously any mysterious rejection of interests that were once important to your child, like sports and hobbies.

Tip: At-home drug test kits are available online or at drugstores. Collect a sample of your child's hair to determine if they are using.

Step 3: Confront defiance

Document defiance, including blatant school tardiness, neglected homework, and careless physical appearance or a pattern of broken home rules, violated curfews, and open disrespect that may indicate drug use.

Step 4: Look for signs in the kid's room

Investigate the child's room. Check for incense to cover the smell of smoke, lighters, or suspicious paraphernalia.

Step 5: Note erratic behavior

Note erratic behavior. Chronic mood swings and uncharacteristic secretive withdrawals are classic signs of drug behavior.

Tip: Community hotlines and referral centers can provide advice and access to drug counselors and trained mentors.

Step 6: Observe relationships

Observe the child's changing relationships, noting new friends who are seldom introduced, never come inside your home, or respond vaguely to questions about their activities.

aahhahahahha this is epic xD

[drughello]

if you use drugs, you will know.

if not, better not know because you will fuck up all by your not proper arguments.

just be a proper parent and make your son do his choices, encourage him to do what he is interested in and everything will be fine, and probably drugless.
