Okay those kids are alcoolics!...They seek what they we're told made them feel good(cought syrop! most contains alcool...mouth-rince also contain alcool...!!!)The pharmaceuticals industries are making sure we're staying sick....What's at the base of most health problems these days?Diabetes and obesities....Who first introduce coca-cola....a pharmacist!!!He invented a serum that will helped people feel better!....well, the only problem....it was made with cocaine!!!!so addictive! ....Now the pills manufacturers, just get what they want...!Okay it's legal and sold all over the planet...soft drinkssss....lots of sugarssss but you know what it comes from the same place.....south.....

So they had to change the formula from cocaine to something more legal so sugar will do the trick...they will drink it so much,they will get sick(diabetes and by the same time create obesities...!) and we would have to find a remedie....so we will get a lot of money......And most of it......goes to making people sick.....sorry i almost forgot....who commercialised Santa Claus? the way we know him today?....guest who????Coca-Cola

I'm so proud of you for becoming sober and I'm sorry your parents appear to be clueless.Can you approach either one or is there any adult in your school or anywhere you can trust?It's awlful hard to go through this alone.Reach out to someone.People do care.

I hear a lot about kids, but my ex-husband who is now 36 and his older brother chug down 3 to4 botttles a day. They started when they were 15, and have been doing this over half there lives and along with the cough syrup he is a sevear alcoholic. Iwas young and cluless when I married him, he kept it hidden from me the whole time we dated, which wasn't long. No one in his family told me about the problem, they thought getting married would solve the problem. Well, it didn't and I wised up pretty fast, we were only married 3 years, but out of the 3 lived together on and off for14 months. He was in and out of rehab and jail the whole time. He has never been able to hold down a job, he lives in shelters or on peoples couches if he can get someone to feel sorry for him, he dosn't have many friends left.  I can tell so many horrar stories, he was a monster when he drank the cough syrup, but an even bigger monster when he didn't.  He almost killed my older son when he was 4 driving under the influnce of cough syrup, my son got over 100 stiches in his head from the accident, he is now 9 years old and struggles to keep up in school and the dr.'s say it's because of the accident also. We have a 5 year old son together who he's seen twice since he's been 18 months. All he remembers about his dad are the stories his older brother tells him about how he would choke his mom and pushed him out of his highchair when he was only 1.That's when I said goodbye for good nobody hurts my kids!!!  We need to get this problem taken care of while these kids are kids! He was a very promising child straight A's, football, sang beautifully, I could go on and on, but thats all gone now, don't think it's something they'll grow out of, it's a real problem, He lost everything! I'd hate to see this happen to anyone eles.

Apparently not the parents. I'm not suggesting that we go back to the time when children (especially girls) were chaperoned. But, we have homes where parents work and leave the children to their own devices. Children are raising themselves. This is what happens. My own growing up was this way. Mother divorced our less and perfect father and worked hard to keep a roof over our head and food on the table all the while my brother is into more and more trouble. It eventualy killed him. How do we stop this downward spiral? 1)give parents the moral support to stay married and have one parent not work out of the house. 2) supervise our children. I know it's difficult - but do it anyway. 3) encourage our children to delay sex and marriage. 4) encourage our children to choose their marriage partner very carefully so that they are more likely to stay married. 5) go back to suggestion #1.

The addictions so many have: be it alcohol, over the counter medications or

prescribed medications: it is feeding wallets somewhere just like a dealer

on the street.  None of these things are a basic food need, it aint like water,

our bodies do not these things that are being abused? 

The hurt hearts and brains do though, once they get in the system

and repeats until they are addicted.  The heart and brain needs help!

When my younger sister was using cough syrup with alcohol I could not

figure out how it made her high, one portion of most cough syrups send

me straight to bed? A few drinks does the same?  part of it is the mentality

behind the use, what they think and feel maybe?

I thought about the special report I seen on prescribing antibodics far too

often making so manys immune system weak.  The report said that our

Doctors was over prescribing antibodics?  Doctors who know it is not safe to do?

Well that fits right in line with societies thinking, what children learn from us a bit?

Social drinking is an acceptable form for entertainment?  Many adults have a ritual

of their 'night out' and wonder why thier kids start drinking?  Not all, I know.

I mean in general.  The young lady with the eating disorder: you must absolutely

get ahold of YOUR life.  I know you understood what Dr. Phil said about not manipulating

anyone while there too.  You know you do it, the hurt needs attended to in a proper way!

Parents I learned this slow and hard, I was ashamed when I figured it out:

My enabling my daughters self-injury problem was there because my hurt feelings

of denial of  'it cannot be true'  was about my feelings not her problem.

We must acknowledge the problem no matter how much it hurts us.

Then the path to recovery or helping starts.  I know it is not usually the parents fault.

Something bad  happened to our child we did not know until the symptoms. 

I so very well know that happens.  But when the symptoms from a mouthy, disobidient or

disrespectful child starts surfacing. get busy watching more, putting a firm foot down

and get them help!  Do not let them be part of a decision to save thier life when they

are self destructive and refuse to admit it a problem or say they need no help.

Just do it!  Take control when they do not have control: it may save thier life!

I do mean that regarding legal adults too: if you must go to court and prove they are unfit to make

rational life preserving decisions for themself, it is better than the downfall of not doing it!

I WATCHED THIS EPISODE IN SEPTEMBER WHEN IT FIRST AIRED.  I AM A 25 YR OLD RECOVERING DRUG ADDICT.  I DID COKE, METH, HYDROCODONES, AND EVERY OTHER PILL OUT THERE.  I MARRIED A 41 YR OLD MAN ABOUT A YR AND 4 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN CLEAN FOR A YEAR ON JAN 10.  I WENT INTO A REHAB PROGRAM AND GOT ON A MEDICINE CALLED SUBOXONE.  IT IS A DRUG THAT STOPS THE CRAVING OF OPIATES.  I HAD BEEN ON DRUGS FOR 8 YEARS AND NOT MANY PEOPLE DID DRUGS LIKE I DID.  IF I CAN GET HELP AND QUIT  ANYBODY CAN!!!!  I CAN TELL (EVEN IF I DON'T KNOW A PERSON) IF THEY ARE ON DOPE, ESPECIALLY LORACETS AND BELIEVE ME, ALMOST EVERYONE IS ON SOMETHING.  I APPLAUD ALL THE RECOVERING DRUG ADDICTS OUT THERE AND PRAY FOR THE ONES THAT ARE IN TREATMENT OR NEED TREATMENT.

Do you understand that a child may be doing this stuff for reasons the parent does not know

about and won't tell them?  many young girls who self-injure is from sexual abuse they do not tell about, they hurt deep in side, hurt alot.  they may go on for years not showing a single sign

of it?  A young guy could have been sexually abused, emotionally assaulted or he did something

bad he won't tell and can't stand the guilt?  Parents are not mind readers, fortune tellers nor

know everything a child may have had happen to them?

If I had to chose and I have had to do it: let my child continue drugs which would kill her or

call police or take other forceabel actions?  Guess what I will every time go for what has the best chance at saving thier life before worrying about the shame of a police report.

Obviously a scar of police report is much less compared to a ER visit for overdose or busted for

illegal use of drugs or alcohol, most of all it is far less than a potential death or brain dead!

Give the parents a break, yell at those parents who drink and do drugs with their kids!

My father-in-law is a truck driver, and drives from Neenah WI. to Chicago IL. everyday, and he heard a commerical on the radio offering robetussion by the case. I am married with 5 children and we would not go through a case in 5 years. I believe they know  where their money is comming from and they continue to make it easier and easier for these kids to get ahold of.

If one source doesn't help try another. Try going down to the police station and ask to speak with someone then let that person direct you in the right place or you direct yourself by ask for Chief of police, administrator, and if them two things don't work go to the court system or a substance abuse place to find out how you can get the police to respond better or other avenues you can take.  It's just a suggestion, I haven't tried it, but one thing I know is that you have to find additional sources until there exhausted to get the help in any situation. Good Luck!
