[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 628614, member: 1550"] The actual starter drug is often cigarettes. Alcohol/pot usually starts next. Then sometimes after they get past that stage, often they don't even know what they are taking. My daughter would take pills and not know for sure what she was taking. I am reading a book about a homeless teen on drugs and it really shows how they probably all manage to survive and why they get into so much trouble. For example, this kid ended up in jail because he thought the cops were being unfair and he started yelling at them and wouldn't stop. So they took him in and he did not have the money to make jail. All I could think of while reading that was, "My son has the mouth to do something stupid like that in the same situation." This is written BY the difficult child and I haven't finished it yet, but I can't seem to put it down. I'll try to post the link to the book if anyone is interested. His behavior so mirrors our own adult kids!!!! And you get to know what he's thinking in his head...trust me, it isn't what "normal" teenage kids think. [/QUOTE]
