PeerX: RX abuse
is drug abuse.
Over and over again parents will say that it
isn't their kid, it is the peer group they are hanging with.
Really?
Isn't it
your teen making the choice to be with them?
Until parents move out of denial, it is almost impossible to get your teen help. Not only is it the teen that has to admit they have a problem, the parents have to face the fact that their child is making some very poor choices.
