For Every Parent
Every
15 minutes, a child dies in the US as a result of an alcohol
related accident.
When
surveyed, 80% of Southlake parents believe their children are
not drinking beer or wine. When we survey Carroll seniors,
they report 59% have used alcohol in the last month.
Southlake
parents believe 98% of their children do not use drugs, but
our seniors report 37% have used drugs in the last year.
Most
fatalities among teens can be linked in some way to drugs or
alcohol. Drugs, including marijuana, are significantly
more powerful and addictive than they were 20 to 30 years ago.
Southlake
has great parents, but our parents must be aware of what is
occurring with our children and in our community. Parents
should always monitor their children's activities and friends. If
a parent even suspects a problem, they should investigate it - immediately! The
Drug and Alcohol Awareness Committee and our website are resources
parents can use to raise healthy children.
Not
my Child! Are
you sure?
