Teens + Alcohol = A dangerous mix

Yet another tough issue that we, parents, need to face when our children grow up, become curious and start discovering the ways of the world. It's one of the topics which we should not avoid, even if it might cause a major conflict.

Alcohol could be, as we all know, extremely dangerous. More so, if the taker is someone who has yet to learn control. In addition to health problems, it could lead to accidents, fights and unsafe sex.

Teach about the effects and risks of alcohol drinking. Establish rules. Be a good role model. Early on, we should already establish an open environment at home, where our kids know that they can honestly talk to us.
