[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The kids that turn to chemicals are usually the kids whose parents don't push them to develop their intellect or hobbies. They have tons of time on their hands and don't develop the self-esteem that comes from hard work and accomplishment. Also, the kids they hang out with are going to be the ones that don't have anything going on either. These are the kids vaping and/or smoking marijuana in the bathroom at school.[/quote] This is not universally true by a long shot. There are plenty of high-performing kids who are taking drugs because they feel the need to perform to please their parents. They start with vaping because they feel it relaxes them, then move to Adderall and Ritalin for energy, and it progresses from there. My teens and I talk about this all of the time. [/quote]
