[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 56667, member: 3647"] First of all, I get where you are coming from. Copper went into 8th grade in '01, which is not that long ago, but long enough ago that drugs did not seem to be as much of an issue. Each year it gets to be a bigger and bigger problem. Now, worrying about it is borrowing trouble. That is spending your energy unwisely. But, that fact that you wish to be proactive and learn what you can is very wise. There are drug programs that are held through the health and police departments, that are very informative. There are websites that are more convenient that show pictures and descriptions of drugs. The most important thing is to talk about it with your son. It sounds corny. My daughter rolled her eyes so hard I thought they would pop right out of her head. But I talked to her about it anyways. I will not say she is perfect, far from. She never tried a drug till senior year, and then it was only pot. She's been out of school a year and still only does pot, and only occasionally. I maintain that you need to get yourself some help. It seems to me that you are not very comfortable talking to your son about anything. You need to feel in charge, and you seem very depressed. You need to be able to be boss of his computer time (I read your myspace question) and be able to handle things if he does get into trouble with drugs. You've come so very far, but you need to take care of you. If you don't, you will never be able to take care of him. [/QUOTE]
