Is there anything I can do to help prevent my teenage son from getting involved with drugs?

Yes, there are a few things you can do. First, be open and honest with your son about the dangers of drugs. Explain that they’re dangerous and addictive, and that he needs to make good decisions in life. Talk openly and honestly about what drugs can do to people, both physically and emotionally. Offer support and resources if he wants to get help or discuss his feelings. Second, monitor his social media accounts closely for signs of drug use, such as posts or pictures related to drugs or drug paraphernalia. Third, talk to him about how drugs affect the brain and body, including the short-term highs and long-term consequences. Lastly, offer positive reinforcement when he makes healthy choices and discourage negative behavior.
