✦ Synopsis

Who's Talking to Your Kids about Drugs and Alcohol, If You're Not? Report: Parents "Clueless" About Teen Substance Abuse - FOXNEWS.com - It is easier for teenagers to obtain prescription drugs than beer - Forty-two percent of teenagers said they can buy marijuana in one day or less - One-quarter of teenagers said they know a parent of a classmate or a friend who uses marijuana. The survey also says that parents are not setting good examples for their kids. Of all the things a parent worries about when their child is approaching the teen years, ruining their life and their friendships because of substance abuse is at the top. This fear is very real and many parents don't have a clue where to start. Talking Smack is full of practical tips and stories that will provide great encouragement to parents and show them why earlier rather than later is the time for them to take an active role on this vital issue.
