[QUOTE="DDD, post: 412450, member: 35"] The youngsters who get caught and sent to classes, in my humble opinion, can be redirected more easily than those who have developed patterns. The twelve, thirteen year old frequently is so eager to belong that they end up with sorry peers...and if joints are the norm they join in. These kids are not addicts usually. They are kids who have veered off the straight and narrow. A couple of years down the line if they don't have intervention then their world revolves about the using friends and the pattern of using has become a habit. I strongly believe in early appropraite counseling. As we all know there is not alot of good counselors available which is really unfortunate. Alot of confused easy child's get on that narrow line and once it becomes apparent to them that they are perceived as difficult child's many lives are changed forever. I've seen it happen to a number of wonderful kids. For the early entrants I definitely think individual therapy is the better choice so they don't see themselves as lost causes. DDD [/QUOTE]
