That's why we created A Family Guide: Alcohol, Tobacco, Other Drugs and Teenagers: to educate parents, teachers and other adults about the world today's young people live in, and to help us help them help themselves. Today's teenagers must deal with a harsher reality than ever before. Coping can be a real challenge. Alcohol and drugs offer teenagers a few moments of oblivion, a feeling of belonging and an escape from anxiety. That kind of reprieve can be tough for kids to pass up. So talk to your teens. Find out what questions they have about alcohol and drugs. Learn what their friends are saying. Encourage their schools to enter into the dialogue. Then get help of a most important kind from A Family Guide—reliable facts. Use it to start your own conversation, and find the answers together.
