Answer 2

I think if you surround your self with positive people, and get yourself in church who might provide mentoring services. Drugs are mind altering, an escape, what are you running from? Maybe you juyst need to talk to your parents more. I have three daughters difference in ages is 3 years and 188 months I have always told them if they needed to know something ask me if I didn't know I would find the answer. There's nothing that you can't talk to your parents about TRUST.
