It is a scary thing to know that children have such easy access to illegal and addictive drugs that can destroy their lives. We must not think our children would never or could never do drugs. Instead we must be ever vigilant.
Janeane, “Vigilant” indeed. Thanks for your support.
I had no idea heroin use was so widespread among teenagers. My children are still very young, but thank you for including the warning signs so that I can be aware when they are older.
Tiffani, A growing problem parent…Heroin! Thanks for support.
Very insightful. Baltimore is my hometown it’s alarming that there is such an increase among teens. I work with students so this truly helpful. I wonder what other initiatives are in place to help students avoid these drug pitfalls. There is so much glorification of substance abuse in the media. Thank you for this post.

Drugs are definately a huge problem in our country that needs to be addressed.
M:k&M, Yes, you are correct drugs is a major problem here in the U.S.A. that we need to addressed.
My goodness. I had no idea the use of heroine was so rampant among teens. I don’t have any kids yet but know what to look for is an important step.
Glad you like. Thanks for your support.
I keep hearing about the heroin issues in the state of Maryland and I’m shocked. Perhaps shocked because I am a Maryland resident and I don’t know anyone on heroin. I don’t see what I think heroin looks like, although I had no idea what it “looks” like. I’m shocked that in 2015 heroin is a real issue.
I’m worried about my now 10 year old possibly having to deal with classmates that are doing heroin. That might invite, suggest or encourage him to give it a try.
Mimi, Just keep talking to your kids. ..That is all you can do. Thanks for your support
