Parents can help protect kids against drug use by giving them the facts before they're in a risky situation. This can make them less likely to experiment with drugs or to rely on friends for answers.

Take advantage of "teachable moments" now. If you see a character in a movie or on TV with a cigarette, talk about smoking and what it does to a person's body. This can lead to a talk about other drugs and how they can harm.

Keep your tone calm and use terms that your child can understand. Explain that drugs are dangerous and can cause lots of problems in the body. Teach kids early on how to say no if someone offers them something they know is dangerous.

Mental health is about creating a lifestyle of balance and reducing the impact of long term stress. Stress is a natural part of life and can be a positive motivation for a person to perform well (a test, a presentation, an athletic event). Stress can also be negative and debilitating. Stress can be triggered by different life challenges, and what is stressful for one person may not be stressful for another. It is important to recognize what causes stress for you, especially the negative kind.

If you take a medicine in a different way than your health care provider prescribed, it's called prescription drug misuse. It could be taking medicine prescribed for someone else, taking a larger dose than you are supposed to, taking the medicine in a different way than you are supposed to, and using the medicine for another purpose, such as getting high.

As a parent, you’re a powerful influence — even if your teenager seems to disagree with everything you say. Some of the most effective ways you can steer your kids away from to***co are to maintain a dialogue, think more than ci******es, prepare your kids for peer pressure, set a good example, and establish a smoke-free home.

It’s a burning question for parents and public health officials alike.

Underage drinking poses a range of risks and negative consequences. It is dangerous because it causes many deaths, causes many injuries, impairs judgement, increases the risk of physical and sexual assault, can lead to other problems, increases the risks of alcohol problems later in life, and interferes with brain development.

Underage drinking is a serious public health problem in the United States. Alcohol is the most widely used substance of abuse among America’s youth, and drinking by young people poses enormous health and safety risks.

More drownings occur in July than in any other month. Many of these deaths involve alcohol—a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 31% of all drownings involve blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels of 0.10% or higher.
