We all know that drug abuse among teens is rising but what about Alcohol Abuse did you know that most teens by the age of 14 have already had there first drink not a sip a real drink 43 percent of teens today think that having one or a few alcoholic drinks a day is not a problem and only a hand full say that they don't approve of Alcohol this is why parents need to show more of a concern in there children's lives so maybe they can help get this epidemic under control before it gets out of hand look for the signs of alcohol abuse but what if you don't know what the signs are well I'm here to tell you what they are.
1. Glazed over eyes or spaced out stair
2. Tired all the time
3. Mood swings
4. Depression, or low self esteem
5. Constant fights or arguments with friends

These are just some of the signs to look for when you think your child might have a drinking problem if you see any of these signs seek help fast get them into some kind of program that has counseling to help them find the root of their problem you never know it could be stress related or they have seen their parents drinking and they got the urge to try it and it became out of control remember parents some times you can't do it alone you need to have some kind of backup to help you with your child this does not make you weak it makes you human let see if we can work with your community to make this a thing of the past so our teens can't get there hands on it ever again.
