[quote=Anonymous]In our kids school an elite private, it is well know that this is becoming prevalent, mostly pills but then some who are predisposed to addiction are turning to heroin.

ANYONE who thinks this is for the poor or those on welfare in dire straits is terribly misguided. We attended a conference on this subject and they said particularly in the. northeast, this type of addiction is MOST prevalent among st affluent, educated white males 18-24 years of age. Do not kid yourself. Chances are that you know someone suffering or know someone with a relative who is.

There was a young boy only 19 who shocked everyone when it came out that he was addicted, he has been in rehab in California for the last several months and apparently doing really well. His parents have been super open about it and I commend them, they even came to speak the night of this conference to shed some light and give all of us a reality check and let me tell it was indeed sobering.

Everyone one on that panel, both the kids and adults could have easily been me or my children. Healthy, from good families, good schools, the "right" neighborhoods, you get it.....this epidemic does not discriminate and seems to target a certain young adult white male of a specific age group.

No amount of good parenting will prevent this from happening. It is just important to be vigilant and aggressive if and when it does happen.[/quote]
