I don't know if it's appropriate, but I was perusing a book written a recovering meth-addict, just the other day.
It was very bleak, and I think it was aimed at teens, and possibly their parents. It was in Borders; they had it on a promotional display.
Like I say, it was bleak.
(We're fortunate: meth isn't the predominant drug problem, around here. We tend to get idiots who think no one's watching them make(?) crack because they're 40 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Still, it will only be a matter of time before meth addiction hits here.
Evil stuff that meth; a pharmacist in Salt Lake City told me it's instantly addictive. And there was a series of billboards through Arizona that showed the results of meth addiction; it doesn't take long, apparently, to reach the bottom. Damn stuff fries your gums and your brain!
I read a brief article about it the other day. I knew how bad it was (not personally, but from reading). When the article said that most parents are surprised to find that their kids are using it, I thought 'well, I certainly would be'. So I thought -- when was the last time you asked?
Course, I now think '...and does she know that if presented with it, they a) might well not CALL it meth, and b) might well suggest that its not really that bad?'
