Where Do Kids Get Drugs?

Kids get drugs in the places where they spend most of their time: their homes, their schools, their friends' homes or at parties. Prepare your son or daughter for that moment of decision when a friend, a classmate, or a group of kids at a party offers your child a drink, a joint, a snort, or a pill to get high.
