Studies have shown that good family relationships and parenting skills are effective and even crucial drug abuse prevention strategies. The risk of children’s deviant behavior can be effectively reduced if parents have a solid relationship with their children and always provide them with positive support. The key to establishing positive links with our children is to listen to them and sincerely express our concerns.

Since all drugs are addictive, prevention is always better than treatment; thus everyone should try to avoid any contact with illegal drugs. Teachers as well as the whole community should pay more attention to this problem, and should try to help children and youth who use drugs to return to a normal life as soon as possible.
