The best way to prevent a teen from abusing drugs is to create an open and honest dialogue with them. Talk openly about drug abuse, its risks, and how it can affect their lives. Make sure they know that there are resources available for help and support if they ever need it. Encourage your teen to stay away from people who use drugs, and make sure they have access to healthy activities such as sports or music. Finally, be aware of any changes in behavior or attitude that could indicate drug abuse and get help immediately.
