Going back to school should mean “bummer dude, summer’s over”. But for a lot of kids it’s a time of excitement, “I’m back hanging with all of my friends”.
School inadvertently provides kids who “Love to Get High” access to parties, new friends, the latest trends in getting high, pills, pot, and some alcohol. (not as easy to get as pot, according to students)
Parents it’s great to have the resources that school provides to help you parent; structure, homework, role models, care and support. But it’s our job to get involved, visit, call, find out if the staff at school has any concerns.
Parents, your other job is to wake-up to the fact that your kid might be getting high and loving it. If this is the case they will be keeping it a secret. You will be the last ones to find out.
Start talking, asking questions, stay connected, with school, other parents and most importantly your son or daughter. It may make all of the difference in the world.
