"Teenagers who use cannabis, alcohol and nicotine are more likely to have underlying psychiatric symptoms, and worse symptoms, than their peers who are not regularly using substances, new research has found."

"Compared with prior generations, today’s adolescents are experiencing more mental health symptoms but a declining use of drugs and alcohol. Binge-drinking and cigarette smoking, in particular, have fallen sharply, affecting a smaller portion of the adolescent population."

"Many parents are doing a good job in raising their children. But this year’s CASA survey uncovered problem parents who enable (some even encourage) their 12- to 17-year-olds to use tobacco, alcohol and illegal prescription drugs. By their action and inaction, and by failing to become part of the solution, these parents become part of the problem of teen alcohol and drug abuse."

"This year’s survey identified as problem parents those who:

• fail to monitor their children’s leaving their home and hanging out on school nights (Monday through Thursday),

• fail to keep away from their children their own dangerous and addictive prescription drugs, like painkillers and stimulants,

• fail to address the problem of drugs in their children’s school,

• set a bad example."

"All parents should monitor their children on school nights, keep dangerous prescription drugs out of their children’s reach, demand that their children’s schools be drug free, and be engaged in their cld’s life."

"There are no more powerful examples of parental engagement than getting a teen involved spiritually and having family dinners. Teens who are religiously involved and who have frequent family dinners are at much lower risk of using and abusing substances."
