Chemical Addiction and Substance Abuse War In our Nation’s College Campuses: Battle fields every parent and caring citizen must join in waging.
Parents, it’s that time of the year again when we send off our young adult children to college. If you do not already know, our Nations college campuses have become the war zones for chemical dependence and substance abuse. This is a special plea to every parent. Please follow the link bellow. Be sure you read the article and watch this socking video on chemical abuse among our college kids. Encourage your college age children also to read and watch the video before they leave home for college. This story and video will give them a different perspective and much greater insight into some of the dangerous myths about academic success they will be facing upon arriving in their respective college campuses.
The enemy—drugs these college kids are facing; some of them for the first time is mean, dirty, slimy, and vicious. It does not fight fair. It does not respect color of your skin and don’t care who you are. It’s more vicious than a pit bulldog and a lion put together. When it grabs hold of a person, it does not let go until it destroys that person or left an indelible damage in the person’s life. It does not stop there. It drags the person’s loved ones with it too and destroys their joy and love for that person.
The drug dealers are no longer the pimps and low lives in the street corners. You would be shocked to learn in this video and article who the modern day drug pushers are.
Please feel free to contact me if I can answer any question for you and your family. You do not and will not owe me a dime for any time I spent answering your question or interacting with you on this matter. It would all be worth it for all of us if you and I can save one young man or woman from the claws of this monster. I battle this enemy every day over control of our young people. I cannot fight this war alone. I need you!
