[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 679853, member: 1550"] We did talk about alcohol and drugs. We dont smoke, drink or do drugs. Yet one of our kids did in her desire to be accepted. I dont believe there is any surefire way. I know adults who were homescooled with church cirriculums their entire lives who turned to drugs. All we can do is our best. Life aside from us does intrude. Our kids decide who they want to be. Nobody else can do it. I do think kids with a passion ( be it dancing, sports, math, public speaking, anything) may be less at risk. But there are no guaranties. Drugs are everywhere, sadly. in my opinion only two things do help. I dont know if im right or not. Those two things are loving two parent families and the other one I believe helps is a young adult who is highly driven to succeed in life and refuses to be derailed by anything as petty (to them) as drug use. I have several young adults, including two of my own, in my family. Bart, who has a college level job without having gone to college, and jumper, very ambitious, wont even tolerate pot. It is partly personality in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
