They seem to thrive on chaos. These young people are particularly at high risk for alcohol and drug problems. In addition, some young people really want to rebel against society by engaging in anti-social behavior. You can provide supportive parenting to counteract these tendencies.

Kids use marijuana to satisfy curiosity.
Even if parents have done an outstanding job educating and nurturing children, there are some children who will remain innately curious about alcohol and other drugs. And they may seek information about those drugs from unreliable sources. Share information with your child about drugs and the consequences of using them. You may also encourage your child to do research on his or her own. This may give the child additional ownership about the information and prompt more learning as a result.
