asks:
Q:
Should I talk to my child's middle school admin. staff about other kids offering drugs to my son?
I guess the question really is, will talking to the school help? I know they have cought students with marijuana in their bookbags and all the school does is call the cops to take the student away and suspend him for 1 week. So far my son has been able to say NO to drugs, but I'm afraid one day he won't be able to due to the pressure. Please help!

Juanita,
Oh my gosh! You absolutely should speak to your school administration. If there is a persistent problem with teens trying to pressure your son, you need to talk with someone. It is good your son has been able to avoid the temptation. It will be a challenge the next few years as he heads into high school and may be coerced by close friends or girls to try drugs. Home drug testing is an option to keep in mind. If you ever have a concern about your teen and drugs, don't hesitate to call us at teensavers for help. Or go to our website for helpful information for parents.
Hang in there!
