Sue Scheff: Smoking, Alcohol and Drug Addictions Among Teens


Addicted Kids


Alcohol. Drugs. Cigarettes. Many kids will experiment with at least one of them, but what happens when experimentation becomes an addiction? And how can you reach your kids before it’s too late? ? “It’s not like parents are bad or they’re missing something,” says Dr. Vincent Ho, psychiatrist. “Kids are just really good at tricking people.”


Drinking, smoking and using drugs are not “just part of growing up.” Studies show that parents can influence the prevention of risky behaviors in their children. Learn what pressures your kids face at school, on the weekends and at parties. Teach them how to say no in a “cool” way – and stick to it. Understand from experts the warning signs of drug and alcohol abuse.


Watch Addicted Kids with your children to hear stories from real teens who have used drugs, cigarettes and alcohol.


Learn from experts and parents “who have been there” as they offer solutions that really work.
