Research has revealed that youth who are disconnected from family, friends, religious and school activities are more likely to experiment with drugs. Researchers maintain that the best defense against students experimenting with drugs is to have the connected to family, friend who are not using/experimenting with drugs. Drugs are easy assessible to almost all youth. They are easy to get. The only defense is the youth's decision making and what they have planned for their future. Parents/adults in a child's life has the largest influence on a youth's behavior. The adults in a child's life does not have to be a relative, but a person who demonstrates a genuine concern and caring about the youth/child's life and their future.
