This article underscores the fact that effective drug and alcohol prevention is vital for our youth and begs the question of why this administration would cut funding for drug education in our schools. This leaves parents, already overloaded due to a down turning economy, as the sole drug educators in their children’s lives. However hard the task, they must accept the job.
Parents must learn the warning signs of alcohol abuse in their kids and when the signs are there, get immediate alcohol treatment. Alcohol abuse does not simply go away and many rehab clients report that they started drinking in their early teens.
Effective alcohol prevention and alcohol treatment can prevent teenage suicides. Let’s get behind any efforts that promote these.

“The risk of suicide rises sharply among teens who drink when they are feeling depressed, a new study finds.
Reuters reported May 8 that suicide risk increased 68 percent among students in grades 7-12 who drank when they felt depressed and had previously thought about suicide. Risk also increased threefold among those teens who never contemplated suicide previously, according to researcher Elizabeth A. Schilling of the University of Connecticut Health Center and colleagues.
The authors said the findings demonstrated the need to screen teens for alcohol use that could predict impulsive suicides.”
The study was published in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health. http://www.jointogether.org/news/research/summaries/2009/teens-who-drink-when.html
