Kids will experiment with drugs there's no doubt about that at some point in thier lives. They will try to smoke a joint or drink a beer. Talking to your kids about the negative effects of drugs and alcohol is extremely helpful and hoping that your child won't like the effect if he/she tries it.

I talked to my girls about drugs as early as i could and it was a topic that was never closed. I'd love to think that they would never even try it but I know they will. My oldest has told me that she tried to smoke a joint and she tried drinking. She also told me that she hated how it made her feel so she doesn't do those things. She's honest enought o tell me that she's tried it so I believe her. Not to mention that she did have a hair stand test done on her and it came back as non-user for anything.

My youngest swears she will never do drugs or drink. She's still young (almost 13). I hope she doesn't try it but to actually believe that wouldn't be reality.

Both my girls know the dangers that drugs and alcohol can cause. Hopefully that will keep them straight
