		<description>Hi Jonathan,

I think it's incredibly admirable that as a result of a tragic event you're now reaching out to help parents and teens. Lord knows, any parent with a teen who is abusing or addicted to drugs needs all the help they can get. I know. I'm one of them. 

I started my blog for the same reason...to help parents and through them, their teens, to avoid the pain my son and I have been going through as a result of his drug abuse/addiction. 

You are absolutely right that drugs are much more readily available now than ever. While there were some drugs available when I was in high school in the early 80's, it was nothing like it is now. These days kids have easy access to anything and everything from alcohol to meth and prescription drugs. 

I look forward to reading more of your posts. As a young adult you have a unique insight that will be valuable to others.

Warmly,
