[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 601443, member: 1550"] I'm going to ditto Kathy. My daughter was a drug user who wanted to stop, but every time she did, her druggie friends, who suddenly didn't act so friendly, would harass her, even threaten her so she would get scared or just give up and find some dope for them. A note: According to my daughter, if you use, you sell. Period. It's part of the drug culture. So anyway, since she didn't quit and we found her and her "friends" having a drug party in our house, we packed her bags. My daughter was extremely lucky and did have common sense. Instead of roaming the streets or staying with her druggie friends, she called her straight arrow brother from another state and I heard her begging and pleading with him to come and get her. I don't know how she talked him into it because he is VERY straight and doesn't deal with drug nonsense, but he did it with the warning that if he even caught her smoking a cigarette in his house, he'd kick her out in Illinois (another state). She was able to kick the habits once she got out of town. It was really strange, really fast, and she did not use rehab. She even quit cigarettes. She had no car so she had to sit home and think about her life and walk to and from work because Brother wouldn't let her live there without a job. Seems that getting away from these "friends" is a good idea. My daughter describes them as relentless in their quest to keep her in the fold. I'm not painting her innocent, but it can be very hard to quit while surrounded by those who believe "misery loves company." Al, after this experience, we moved to a nearby small town in which about forty seniors graduate each year. Not all small town schools are this well behaved, but the cops in this town have told me the biggest problem they had was when the kids TP'd somebody's house rather extensively after homecoming. There are kids who do drugs, but everyone knows who they are, which makes it harder to hide it from parents. If it's a nice group of kids who are inclusive of newbies, it's like a family. My younger kids did MUCH better in smaller schools. Neither of them use drugs or even drink or smoke cigarettes. I am crossing all my fingers, toes and even eyes for you. [/QUOTE]
