KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM DRUGS.
By Juan Pablo Lievano
Is your teen son or daughter safe enough when he or she goes out with friends? It is not a secret that between ages of 15 and 21, teens are inthe will of trying new things and feeling new stuff. Newspapers, magazines and even new TV shows promote the use of drugs and our kids are victims of it.
