When talking to your children about drugs include a discussion about the difference between prescription drugs and illegal drugs. Make sure that they understand that using drugs that have been prescribed for someone else is considered illegal drug use. Many children feel that prescription drugs prescribed to anyone is safe for them to use, let them know that this isn't true. Many prescription drugs have side effects that they may not be aware of.
Talk about alcohol and tobacco being illegal drugs as well. This may be a problem for many parents as they may use these substances. Let them know that these drugs have ill effects on a body that is still growing which is why they are illegal for children.
