I am 13 & I just moved from Dallas to Miami. I miss my friends and my family in Dallas so much that I have turned to Vicodin. It's so hard to quit because it's everywhere. I mean at school everybody's got it. I know I need to stop but I can't. It fills the emptiness of Dallas. I'll look at pics of home or talk to friends back home and I get so sad that I just go & pop a few Vicodin's. I think that my problem also is linked to the fact that the reason I had to move in the first place was that we were going bankrupt on our 6000 sq. ft. Million Dollar Home & my dad lost his job at the same time. So now were living in a tiny 2500sq. ft. home in Miami because my Dad got a job here. So it is very rough because not only did I lose my friends and family, I lost my house and my money at the same time. So pretty much Vicodin fills the pain and helps me through theday because when I think back to my old care free life I get sad and pop a Vicodin. What Should I Do????????????? Please Help Me!!!

Tell your parents you need help. Tell them what is going on with you. Tell them you are afraid that your life is going to totally fall spiral out of control if you don't. I recommend at least a detox unit to help you come off of the stuff. You are going to need a great support system. Check into NA or other recovery programs. Good Luck

You really need to talk with your parents. As someone mentioned detox in a rehab facility would be a good idea. They keep a watch on both your physical and mental state. As well there are counsellors to talk to and others who are going through the same thing. Knowing you are not alone in your struggles is a great comfort.
NA, narcotics annonymous, is a wonderful program that will give you support. As well you will meet people who will offer to help you, talk to you when you want to use, support you and truly understand how you feel and think.
Please go to your parents. Ten to one they've noticed changes in you and are probably desperately confused as to what to do. Your story might horrify them at first but I'm confident they love you enough to see you get the help you need.
I think it is marvelous that at 13 you recognize you've got a serious problem, smart. You are on a very slippery slope, dig in your heels NOW.
All the best and I pray you get the help you need. You do not have to do this alone.

If you want help without your parents involved look for local NA meetings. if thats not for you, then go cold turkey. its really easy to get addicted to prescription medicine. dont further your depression by thinking that you're a 'bad' guy. regaurdless you need help and its good you're looking for it by asking on here. Good luck!!

Who the hell would give hydrocodone to a 13 year old?

Tell your parents. They will yell at you and make you cry, but it is the only way you are going to get help.

its pretty much impossible to do this on your own.
you need to tell your parents and you can get help from there
