[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Even 15 years ago when I was in high school everyone knew that heroine was something you DON't touch, not even once. Even the kids doing coke and E knew that [/quote]

That was true when I was in high school also. [b]These days, there is not that same fear.[/b] I have two extended family members, both teens, with heroin addiction. Both started using recreational drugs in middle school and moved in a circle of underachieving kids with too much time on their hands who were looking for a quick high. Started with pot, moved to synthetics like Spice, then to psychedelics, then lifting prescription drugs from the family, and finally to heroin. One cousin died at 19 last year from an OD, the other is still in comunity college and on a 4th round of rehab. It is frightening but in the cases above, this didn't come out of the blue. It started with signs of misbehavior and bad decision making that snowballed over several years. The signs are often there. I've seen kids making blatant posts regarding regular drug use on social media and yet the parents remain clueless.[/quote]

Because parents are too busy excusing their kids' misbehavior and bailing them out left and right.  You can read it in the PP's posts.  They are hysterically defending these little drug-chasing fiends.  "It's not their fault!  Addiction is complex!  They got lost!  It spiraled out of control through no fault of their own!"  No, your precious snowflake wanted to get high and was too dumb to stay away from opioids.  How is that helpful?  How is acknowledging the truth ever helpful when you're trying to solve a problem?  Oh it's much better if we all stay in denial.   :roll: [/quote]
