High School – Drug Dens For Drug Addicts?

According to the National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse XII   conducted by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA at Columbia University), eleven million high school student (80 percent) and five million middle school students (44 percent) attend drug –infested schools. 

Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia, comments, “This means that they have personally witnessed illegal drug use, dealing, possession, drinking and/or students high on the school ground. This is something children should read about, not personally witness.”

A new study released by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America reported that the number one reason teens use drugs is to deal with the pressures of school.

The reasons have switched from “I want to have a good time” to “I can’t deal with this.” The study also found that parents underestimate the impact of stress on their kids.

What is the solution?

Fortunately, another study shows that kids will listen to their parents when it comes to drugs. 

“We recommend talking to your kids about drinking, drug abuse, prescription drugs, the lot,” comments Ms. Rieser. “Otherwise they will get pressure from classmates will be un-stoppable. Studies show that 100% of high school students will be offered an illegal drug before they graduate. If the parents haven’t warned their children about the dangers of drug addiction they are in for a rough time.”

If you know someone with a drug problem, send them to Narconon – we have a 76% success rate.
