Yes, you are correct Sir Johann, there are thousands of these stories accross the globe and even worse ones.
Every time that I read one, I see that drugs are involved.
The thought is that the youth of today are not as active as the youth of the past, especially due to their IT addictions and they are easy prey for the drug salesmen.

Many of them even brag online about the highs and lows that they experience from taking one or another kind of drug and this also influences others.
You are right in that the youngsters do not want help and if they are pushed to leave the habits they become devious and do it in secret.
Some of them also start stealing and selling stuff from their homes in order to suport their drug habits.
A sad story indeed and the dealers are even active at primary schools.

One can only try the best as a parent and love is so essential. Of course at times things don't go smoothly due to opposing views, but such is life my friend.

Cheers and thank you!
