The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign has some excellent articles for parents. These are free for the download or you can order articles, posters, etc to be sent to you for free. Click here to see available resources. You have to really click around to appreciate all the various articles available. One that I particularly liked is "Online Exposure: Teens at Risk and Parents Disconnected." This is an E-guide for parents featuring Everything you need to know about social networking, net lingo, and viral video to better understand your teen's online habits. For example, I did not know that the following are lingo that teens use on line:
Lingo to Warn of Parent Monitoring
POS Parent Over Shoulder
PIR Parent In Room
P911 Parent Alert
PAW Parents Are Watching
PAL Parents Are Listening
Top 50 Internet Acronyms Parents should know
You can also use their search function at the top of the website to look up specific drugs or specific words that interest you.
Also, they have some very good stuff on the connection between marijuana and depression.
