Alcohol and Drug Abuse Stems From Childhood

Alcohol and drug abuse often has its roots embedded into a troubled childhood. They see themselves surrounded with vices before they develop the power to differentiate it from good virtues. They see so many things happening around them, it's a lot to take in.

This is most likely the parents fault here, a little more guidance is necessary in these cases. Kids these days know more about illegal subjects than most parents, other times parents share their substance use with their kids. That is wrong in so many ways. The kids brain is still not developed and can easily turn into an addiction quickly or worse.

Another reason behind teens giving into alcohol and drug abuse is simply to appear hip and happening. Such urges usually develop during puberty, and can easily turn into a lifelong habit. It's most human nature to act like sheep anyways. If one person is doing something many others follow along.

Seeing that a good childhood makes a world of difference, could we take the time to make this happen? A little guidance and your child could have an addiction free life. Just remember to teach the right values and everything should turn out fine. Follow your instincts, go with your gut.

This obviously does not apply to all families, but if you see neglectful behavior from another parent step in and say or do something.

The moral here: Troubled childhoods can sometimes cause drug and alcohol abuse. Prevent this from happening by any means.
