1 Straight Talk about Parties, Drugs, And Alcohol A RESOURCE HANDBOOK FOR AREA RESIDENTS Dear Parents: We would all like our children to live in a drug-free environment. The reality is that our children are exposed to drugs and alcohol frequently during the course of their adolescence. Peer pressure, excessive media exposure, and easy availability can lead to children experimenting with and abusing drugs. Statistics show that the majority of children that end up in trouble with the law are abusing drugs and alcohol. We also know that children who abuse drugs and alcohol tend to have increased difficulty in school. Drug abuse is a societal issue that cannot be solved by the schools, communities or churches alone. Our efforts have to be collaborative and parents must take an active role. We are providing this resource guide as a tool to help you develop an increased awareness of the situations that put your child at risk. It should help you handle the social situations your child may or may not have already encountered. Please take the time to review this resource guide and keep it handy for future references. Sincerely, Marsha Harrison Ronald W. Durkin Superintendent Director of Safety and Security
2 ATTENDING A PARTY 1. Contact parents of party giver. Verify the occasion. Be sure that a parent will be present. Be certain that alcohol and other drugs will not be permitted. Offer assistance. 2. Know where your teen will be. Obtain the address and telephone number of the party giver. Let your teenager know you expect a telephone call if the location of the party is changed. 3. Know how your teen will get to and from the party. Assure your teen that you or a specified friend or neighbor can be called if he/she needs a ride home. Discuss with your teen the possible situations that might necessitate such a call. If you are not going to be home, let your teen know where you can be reached. 4. Be sure your teen understands when he/she is supposed to be home. 5. Be awake or have your teen awaken you when he/she arrives home. 6. If your teen is staying overnight with a friend following a party, check with the parents of the friend beforehand to verify that: This is acceptable to them. They will be home. You both agree on curfew hours and other basic house rules. 7. You or your teen may want to telephone the party giver the next day to express your thanks. There are many pressures on our youth to use alcohol and other harmful drugs. The strongest pressure comes from the adolescent s peer group. Parents may compound the problem by permitting underage friends of their children to drink in their homes, adding to the children s confusion about the acceptability of drinking. Known to most teenagers, but not to most parents, is the phenomenon of the Kegger. Usually hosted when parents are out of town, students chip in a set amount of money for beer for an open party (where any number of people may attend). When behavior becomes boisterous, even the police find the situation difficult to handle because there is no responsible authority figure on the premises.
3 GUIDELINES FOR HOSTING A PARTY 1. Set the ground rules with your teen before the party. This will give you both an opportunity to express your feelings and concerns. Let your teen know what you expect. 2. Notify your neighbors that there will be a party. Encourage your teen to call or send a note to close neighbors telling them about the party and asking them to let the family know if there is too much noise or other unacceptable behavior. 3. Notify the police when planning a large party. This will help the police protect you, your guests and neighbors. 4. Plan to have plenty of food and nonalcoholic drinks on hand. 5. Limit party attendance and times. Make a guest list and send out invitations or have your teen personally invite guests beforehand. It is important to discourage crashers. Avoid open house parties. It is difficult for parents and teens to keep control over this kind of party. Set time limits for the party. 6. At least one parent should be at home during the party. A parent can bring in snacks and nonalcoholic beverages. Not only will your presence help keep the party running smoothly, but it will also give you an opportunity to meet your teen s friends. Invite other adults to help supervise. Do not leave. Teens frequently party at homes when parents are away. Typically, the greatest problems occur when parents are not at home. Tell your neighbors when you are going to be out of town. 7. Do not allow any guests who leave the party and then return. This will discourage teens from leaving the party to bring or use drugs or alcohol elsewhere and then return to the party. 8. Do not offer alcohol to guests under the age of 21 or allow guests to use drugs in your home. The host parents may be brought to court on criminal charges and/or have to pay monetary damages in a civil lawsuit if they furnish alcohol or drugs to minors. 9. If, despite your precautions, things get out of hand, do not hesitate to call your police department for help.

7 RECOGNIZING ALCOHOL and DRUG ABUSE Hints to help sort the use or abuse of drugs and alcohol: The National Institute of Alcoholism Abuse defines problem-drinking adolescents as those who have been drunk at least six times in the preceding year or who have experienced negative consequences of their drinking two or more times in that period. Your child may not have a problem with drugs or alcohol, but if you are in doubt or if his behavior matches any of the warning signals, seek help. Attributing a serious symptom to just adolescence may be ignoring behavior that needs investigation. SIGNS Physical Signs: 1. Medical problems. 2. Appearance of intoxication with or without the smell of alcohol. 3. Noticeable and abrupt change in appetite. Decrease or rapid weight loss often happens with the use of sleeping or pep pills. Increase in appetite is a common after-effect of marijuana. 4. Hopped up appearance when teen used to be rather calm. This could be the result of using barbiturates, amphetamines, or possibly marijuana. 5. Redness around the eyes or change in size of pupils. 6. Goofing - to sit for a long time looking off into the distance. 7. Slurred or incoherent speech. Behavior signs: 1. Abrupt change in moods and/or behavior loss of interest in school, extracurricular activities, etc. 2. Sudden carelessness in appearance, if person had been neat in the past. 3. Frequent lying to you or others. 4. New friends who either drink or use drugs. 5. Tendency to laugh a lot (even at things that aren t funny). 6. Undue reclusivness - in the bedroom or bathroom for a long time. 7. Relationships with other family members or significant others have deteriorated. 8. Less responsible about chores, house rules, getting home at the right time, etc. 9. Defends the use of drugs or alcohol - turns off in conversations concerning drugs or alcohol. 10. Involved in more fights with siblings or others. 11. Volunteers to clean up after adult parties (cocktail parties). 12. Sleeping in school or skipping school altogether. 13. Emotional problems.
8 Other signs: 1. Family supply of liquor or drugs is dwindling. 2. Desperation for money with no apparent reason, or money missing from family. 3. Drug related paraphernalia cigarette papers or pipes (for marijuana) cooking spoons pills or cough medicine not prescribed 4. Neighbors or others have talked to you about your child s behavior. 5. Caught dealing in drugs or giving them to friends. 6. Arrested for driving while intoxicated, disorderly conduct, or other delinquent acts RECOGNIZING ALCOHOL and DRUG ABUSE If you have identified some of the following behaviors in your teen, you might consider these measures to first clarify and then address the problem. DON T Attempt to communicate with your teen when that child is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Attempt to strictly confine your teen or restrict contact with all his/her friends. That measure may broaden the gap between you. Attempt to solve the problem with one serious talk. Attempt to hide the problem. That only worsens gaps in communication within the family. DO Spend time with your teen. Get to know your child s friends and their parents. Talk with your teen. Listen to your teen. Offer both praise and concern when appropriate in a loving fashion. Consult with school authorities to determine their assessment of the involvement of your teen. Seek advice from a drug/alcohol counselor, or your doctor.
9 EXAMINE YOUR FAMILY Are you or other family members: denying there is a problem? justifying the use? hiding your feelings? avoiding a confrontation? minimizing the problem? protecting the user? lecturing, criticizing, and blaming? assuming responsibility for teen s behavior? acting self-righteous and superior? abusing drugs or alcohol yourself? PARENTS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE 1. Be very aware of the your influence as a role model. If you do not want your child to abuse drugs and alcohol, do not abuse them yourself. 2. Become educated and informed about drugs and alcohol and their effects. Be a credible source of information for your child. 3. Become aware that we live in a drug-oriented society. Look closely at: commercials and advertisements song lyrics 4. Take a firm stand against the abuses of drugs and alcohol. Do not be surprised if your child experiments. Keep the dialogue open on drugs and alcohol as well as any other problems he/she may be having. 5. Encourage your child to participate in meaningful, and unselfish activities and services with their community, school, church, and family. 6. Encourage your child to become involved in extracurricular activities. Everyone is good at something. Help to identify their strengths. Support their efforts. Praise them often. 7. Have confidence in your ability to make a difference. In working together with other parents, you can multiply your influence. In a time of powerful adolescent peer pressures, parents and peer support is encouraged. 8. Establish communication with other parents, particularly the parents of your child s peer group. Work together for a community set of standards and provide reinforcement and support for one another. 9. Strive to develop a cooperative, working relationship between parents, administrators, faculty and students within your school district. 10. Be willing to become involved in your community efforts to address this problem.
