How can I get my parents to care about my drug problem?

Your parents can not care about your problem if you don’t talk to them about it. I know how it can feel to have people hate you in school and not want to be there at all. But those people all have their own issues and chances are they are suffering too. You really need to stop the drugs and parting to think clearly, the drugs only going to make you more depressed. Go to your school counselors or do you have any other family who will listen? Suicide is defiantly not the way to go. And don’t listen to Janeesacote and just wait for God. God can help and so can prayer but you have to take things in your own hands. You are a smart kid and knowing that you need to stop and get help, that’s a huge steep already! Don’t stop here go get an adult to help you through this, there are help lines everywhere and all kind of organization to help kids stay off drugs. This is your only chance at life, make it a good one and do it now, everyday counts and the sooner you start the better.

There are lots of people out there who do care about and love you, no matter what !!!

Remember being a parent is also hard and stressful so don’t give up on them.

My advice is just waitand pray. As the saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait.” God has plans for you and he will never ever neglect you. This is what I do. Just trust the Lord. And never do suicide. It will just worsen problems. Just be optimistic even though it really hurts. I hope I have helped you.

Think about your life, if you want to die from drugs or want to live a normal life, all you have to do is get some HELP to turn you life around ,you can do it , so do it and you will feel better life is precious don’t waste it.

PS, This wont help much but its good to know; it’s not necesarily that your parents dont care- chances are that they feel hopeless, helpless, useless and are really afraid of what it is you are feeling. Are you there???

Dear radfrenchfries, At 16 you can call the help line at 1-800-668-6868 or you can look in the phone book for the nearest rehab or even the nearest AA will help you. Since you cannot seem to get the help you need at home and you are asking for the help here then you are willing to do something about it right…so call, and go to these agencies for help. You are smart enough to know that you will not live long at the rate you are going and you need help now. You are not a bad person but the drugs are bad making you be someone you are not. Time to get real with yourself and get the help you need. Sue…good luck

I know you are probably too young in life to get this, or believe it but here it is; I LOVE YOU! I will hep you if I can, if you can figure some way for us to contact each other in private, I will give my life over to helping you to be happy, if you need me. We can talk on the phone and work out how I can help you. If someone wants to offer financial help in case I an needed to stay near his home, please also find a way to do that. PS I am not religious, I am not a nutter. I just know how to care and how to be with this situation.

Hi..I feel bad for you and remember exactly the same thing when I was your age…Please let me suggest that you try…and really try..to go out at the weekend and enjoy yourself. Dont go out during the week,maybe have your friends round the house and create a pattern…a habit thats good. You obviously are an intelligent person and I sincerely hope you sort this hiccup out…

thats sad…even if life seems hopelss now it can get better..call a help center or police

Where have you gone? I am still here :-)
