In the past 10 years, its use has grown nearly 300 percent and the marijuana teens are smoking today is much more potent than the drug their parents may have tried. Nearly half of all teens drink alcohol regularly and about half of those are binge drinkers having five or more drinks at a time. If the news about teens and drugs sounds bleak, it’s not all bad. If nearly half of teens drink that means more than half don’t. Parents and other adults who are involved with children are helping improve the statistics and the lives of children. Talking to kids about drugs is one of those times when, as parents or other adults who care about children, we can feel a bit out of our depth. But talking with children about drugs isn’t about one talk, one time. It’s about talking and listening all the time. Adults teach children about making good choices and good choices about drug use are just part of the message.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n President Clinton's Call to Action for American Education in the 21st Century Safe, Disciplined and Drug-free Schools W e cannot educate our children in schools where weapons, gang violence and drugs threaten their safety. For students to learn well, their schools must be disciplined and feel safe. While most schools do provide a secure learning environment, a growing number of schools in all types of communitiesurban, suburban, and ruralare experiencing problems with violence and with alcohol and drug use. Fortunately, schools, parents, and communities are finding practical ways to provide children the safe and disciplined conditions they need and should expect to find in school, such as by promoting smaller schools, respectful communities, fair and rigorously enforced discipline codes, teacher training to deal with violence, school uniforms, and after-school programs that keep kids productive and off the streets. As a nation, we too must do everything possible to ensure that schools provide a safe and secure environment where the values of discipline, hard work and study, responsibility, and respect can thrive and be passed on to our children. We have a basic, old-fashioned bottom line. We must get drugs and violence out of our schools, and we must put discipline and learning back in them. Ensuring Safe, Disciplined and Drug-Free Schools

Help Monday, May 24, 1999 Published at 14:06 GMT 15:06 UK Drug to control children 'overused' The causes of hyperactivity are thought to be biological A disturbing aspect of drug use among the young is the deliberate prescribing of amphetamine-type drugs to them, to control their behaviour. The number of supposedly hyperactive children being given a drug has shot up at an alarming rate, according to a United Nations report. Professor Hamid Ghodse of the INCB explains his concerns about the use of Ritalin in the UK The annual report of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) said the use of the drug Ritalin for children with attention deficit disorder had gone up in more than 50 countries, including Britain, where it could soon reach levels comparable to that in the US. The report criticised overuse of the drug in America. Treatment rates for hyperactivity in some American schools are as high as 30 to 40% of a class and children as young as one have been given the drug. BBC Correspondent Karen Bowerman looks at how the use of Ritalin has affected one family Critics of the drug are concerned that it turns children in the classroom into zombies. Supporters say it is important for parents to control their child's behaviour if they are disruptive. Drug abuse The 70-page INCB report lists drug problems worldwide, and makes recommendations on strategies for fighting abuse in regions from Asia to Europe and Africa to the Americas.

Hard-hitting images of Rachel will be shown to pupils New guidance to schools will also urge head teachers to expel pupils who sell drugs to other children - with no chance of a let-off even for a first-time offence. The Department for Education says the proposals are part of an "all-out offensive" against drugs in schools, which also involves showing children a graphic film about the death of a heroin addict.

Project PRIDE (Positive Results in Drug Education) Project PRIDE provides substance abuse prevention and other counseling in a peer-group setting. The program serves students in all Philadelphia public school districts as well as some suburban districts. PRIDE views substance abuse, high-risk sexual behavior, suicide and adolescent pregnancy as symptoms of other problems rather than isolated issues. PRIDE uses attitudinal and behavioral approaches to prevention to promote skills that enhance self-esteem and responsible decision-making so that adolescents can become less vulnerable to high-risk behaviors.

52. Psychiatry: The Ultimate Drug Pusher - Psychiatry: Education's Ruin The legal form of the drug is given to children under the name of Desoxyn.Some time later, Larry confided to his mother he was doing drugs. http://www.cchr.org/educate/ptudb.htm

W hen Faye Donald's 8-year-old son, Larry, was in the first and second grade he delighted in going to school and to be in the companionship of other children. "He loved socializing and would talk to other children during class," his mother said. However, when he reached third grade his new teacher claimed that Larry's behavior was distracting. As punishment, Larry was forced to spend days in a closet where he couldn't talk to his friends. Any young child subjected to such a draconian measure would be traumatized and, not surprisingly, Larry's mother recalled, "It was in the third grade that my son stopped liking school." The Donalds moved to Texas shortly afterwards. But now, disabused of school and teachers, Larry's behavior in class was "diagnosed" by his teachers as requiring a referral to the school psychologist. The school psychologist quickly referred him to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist tested Larry, pronouncing him mildly hyperactive and in need of medication, something that Mrs. Donald had serious reservations about. She told the psychiatrist that she would send Larry to tutors or do anything else as an alternative to drugs. "The psychiatrist told me that drugs to control childhood behavior was well proven as being completely safe." Still she resisted, fighting the school and the psychiatrist for several months. "They made my life and Larry's miserable. I finally agreed with what the psychiatrist recommended," she said. Larry was put on Cylert by the psychiatrist, and his mental condition changed for the worse. His mother said, "On this drug my son became extremely paranoid and wouldn't go to sleep at night. He also had stomach pains, and a number of other side effects. I went back to the psychiatrist and demanded my son be taken off the drug."

Monday, April 07, 2003 Parents' Center Quick Menu Advisories VA Parents as Teachers Employment Web Sites Family Zone Related Articles Schools Excerpts from Growing Up Drug-Free: A Parent's Guide to Prevention When most parents talk about drugs, they voice some of their greatest fears and concerns. And their apprehension is well-justified: The 1990s began with an increase in the popularity of drugs. During the previous decade, the number of children using drugs declined by nearly half as leaders from government, the media, and community and parents' groups sent a unified message to the public: drug addiction can destroy your relationships and family life and can harm or even kill you. Unfortunately, as the general public began to feel that the problem had abated and was now manageable, usage began to rise again. A recent study found that 4 out of 10 tenth-graders have tried marijuana. Those of us who grew up during the first wave of drug experimentation knew more about drugs than our parents did. Now we don't know as much about drugs as our children do. And we certainly don't know what it feels like to live in our children's world-a world not only more complex and stressful than it was during our youth, but with a drug culture that never existed before. For example: LSD is now marketed to younger children with colorful designs or cartoon characters;

Other complications can include an increase in acute medical problems following birth, and extended periods of hospitalization. Birth weight under three pounds has been associated with poor physical growth and poor general health status at school age. Low Birth weight infants also have an increased risk of neurosensory deficits, behavioral and attention deficits, psychiatric problems, and poor school performance. Premature infants may have experienced bleeding of the brain tissue, hydrocephalus, bronchial problems, eye disease, and interferences with the normal ability to feed Small for Gestational Age (SGA) This term is used to describe infants whose Birth weight is below the third percentile for their gestational age (i.e., 97% of infants the same age are heavier than the SGA infant).

Stress Tolerance: Patterns of Inheritance Most people can handle the stresses of modern life, stresses considered "normal" in our society, without developing any problems. But about ten percent of our population cannot handle these stresses. ONE IN TEN PERSONS IS FUNCTIONING IN OVERSTRESS RIGHT NOW AT STRESS LEVELS THE OTHER NINE HANDLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. The reason these people are more susceptible to stress is that they have inherited a Low Stress Tolerance. These persons develop Happy Messenger failure at levels of stress that others handle with ease. For a person with this inherited problem, 150 on the stress scale is enough to affect Happy Messenger function, and cause OVERSTRESS. For most people, OVERSTRESS may be a temporary condition, but for these ten percent of persons, OVERSTRESS is a life-long problem. In our society, if you can not handle a 150 stress level, you will be in OVERSTRESS forever. Such persons typically show signs of OVERSTRESS when they approach their teen years. As we have seen, the teen years are one of the most stressful times of a person's life. When a childwho inherits a Low Stress Tolerance enters the teen years, fatigue, sleep problems, depression, crying spells, and anxiety may become manifest. The teenager will begin to rely on Pick-Me-Up's as"medicines" to make him or her feel better. Patterns of binging or maintenance with Pick-Me-Up's will be established. And the person will often be stuck for the rest of his or her life on the wild roller coaster:

In that time, I’ve seen our state move from being isolated in many ways to becoming integrated with the world around it. Together we have opened the gates to and from West Virginia....Today nearly every West Virginia school is wired for the Internet, and West Virginia ranks 18th in the nation in terms of educational technology and teachers with technology training. Students with access to technology will be the high tech workers of tomorrow — so this investment is critical." Senator Rockefeller Highlighting his successful E-Rate Initiative in a speech to Lewisburg Rotary Club, June 26, 2000 The following are highlights of Senator Rockefeller's efforts: Building the Future: Better Classrooms for a Better Tomorrow: Making Teachers a Top Priority: Senator Rockefeller knows the importance of good teachers, which is why he introduced the Incentives to Educate American Children Act of 2002 ( I TEACH). Throughout America and West Virginia, rural and low-income schools are finding it difficult to find and keep qualified teachers. I TEACH offers a $1,000 tax credit for teachers who work in rural or low-income schools and another $1,000 for teachers who have earned a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification. The State of West Virginia already provides a financial incentive for teachers earning the National Board Certification. I TEACH expands this recognition to the federal level.

UNDCP Fundraising Campaign in Japan. Center representatives traveled to the six countries of Barbados, St. Vincent, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia, where they visited five UNDCP regional offices (Barbados and St. Vincent share the same regional office located in Barbados) and observed and participated in exchanges with 12 NGOs. @The average income in Bolivia is the lowest in South America. In the areas in the upper Amazon region where coca is cultivated, drug trafficking is also rampant. Of course, the numbers of street children are also increasing, and drug abuse is also spreading. In this country, a grant from the Center is being used to support a soccer problem which helps protect children from the temptation to abuse drugs. @The last country visited by the Center was Colombia, whose drug cartels continue eve now to conduct terrorist acts around the world. The Center representatives were quite nervous about visiting Colombia, but, upon arriving in Bogota, to their surprise they found the most beautiful city of all those visited in South America. Bogota is a normal city which offers a very hospitable living enviroment. Of course, like all the other South America countries the Center visited, it had its section of alum areas, but upon visiting other well-kept areas, it was clear that this region differs from those in the other South American countries.
