Hello,

Today... right now...  millions of children around the world and in your neighborhood are on the verge of becoming hooked... not on phonics... but on drugs!

Millions of other children have already started using or abusing drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, PCP, marijuana, heroin and alcohol.

Are you a parent like me who is concerned about the plague of drugs that threaten your son or daughter?

Or are you a teacher, counselor, school administrator, social worker, child care worker, or other professional who wants to make a difference in the lives of children?

Would you like more information, more knowledge, more skills that will boost your ability to help children resist using drugs?

Would you like feel more confident and more competent as you work with children who are exposed to the pressures to use drugs, drink alcohol or become involved in other dangerous activities?

Here Are Some Facts About Teens & Drugs:

In the United States, 13.2 million students between the ages of twelve and seventeen become new users of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. And according to the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan, 50% of American children have used illicit drugs by the time that they are seniors in high school. In another recent study involving more than 50,000 high school students, ISR researchers found that 77% had used alcohol, 54% had smoked cigarettes, and 51% had used an illicit drug (including 46% who had used marijuana, 15% had used an amphetamine and 11% had used inhalants).

These are staggering numbers. As a parent of two boys - one six - and the other fifteen years old, I am deeply concerned.

What about you? How do you feel about these trends in drug use among teenagers? How concerned are you?
