Growing number of parents have to face children who have fallen prey to drugs and alcohol from an early age. Equally alarming is the fact that most parents only realize after it's too late.

Teenagers often try their first "shot" or sip of beer simply because it is exciting and helps them to tag along with their peers. Sometimes parents even after being aware of this practice do not stop their sons thinking that it is a natural part of growing up.
However, substance abuse can result in detrimental effects for your son, such as:
* Derangement of senses
