how can u tell that your child doin drugs?

Answer 1

Most Parents Know there Own Children all too well-So if they are exhibiting strange behavior or mood swings that are out of character-Then you may need to investigate further!

Answer 2

if they have changed either they sleep allot or they are up a lot it depends on what they could be taking if there attitude has changed never having time for family very Moody eyes gloss or losing allot of wight black circles under eyes you can buy a home drug test at Walgreen's or you can have a doctor do a drug test if they get an attitude about taking one then they may be have something to hide if they are willing then you are problem not wright

Answer 3

Pay attention to their personalities, their friends, the music they listen to, the way they dress, etc. If any of these things has changed alot recently then there could be cause for alarm. The best thiung to do is to always be aware of your kids actions, where they spend their time, who their friends are, etc. This can speak volumes about what's going on in their lives.Just pay attention and the changes in them will begin to be quite obvious if they are involved in drugs.

Answer 4

You go to the local drugstore (CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc) and you buy a drug test kit. Then you take it home, open the package and hand it to your child. Tell him to go in the bathroom and pee in the cup and then give it back to you......you then follow the rest of the directions on the test.........If he/she tests positive....you repeat the test once every month or so (without telling him/her you're going to).....just do it........Good Luck!!
