Drug tests

Today a parents’ control over drug use seems to be much greater than it was in the recent past. Today parents who suspect drug use by a teen have the ability to purchase a home drug test kit. Parents also have controls that help to lower the chances that a child will engage in drug use. Parents can put those controls on their TV or on the child’s computer. By using such controls, the parents subject a child to fewer scenes of other teens getting high on drugs. By using such controls, parents try to prevent the need for the purchase of a home drug test kit.Seventy years ago parents and older siblings had an easy remedy for verbal abuse. Back then a child caught using a curse word could expect to have his or her mouth washed out with soap. Today when a parent notes that a child has exhibited an inclination to verbal abuse, that parent is more apt to purchase a home drug test kit.

Because such a kit delivers its result within 2 to 5 minutes beyond the time when the test was administered it provides parents with easy access to answers. Those answers would come on the heels of questions raised by the parents. The parents would probably raise those questions following evidence by a son or daughter of any of the following behaviors.

A parent who has experienced continual defiance from a teenage might want to invest in a home drug test kit. So too a parent who has witness countless acts of lying by a teenager. The lying should send an especially loud alarm, if it is accompanied by behavior that shows a sudden decline in the attentiveness of the offending teen.

The above are just a few examples of the sort of behavior that often accompanies drug use. They are the sort of behaviors that can send a parent looking for a home drug test kit. Yet a parent can not rule out drug use from the absence of the few behaviors mentioned above. The following paragraphs will greatly expand the list of behaviors that could raise parents’ concerns.

Heavy drug use normally leads an individual to neglect many aspects of life. The drug user puts acquisition and use of the drugs at the top of the list of “things to do.” That can cause a teenager on drugs to have an obviously neglected appearance. Such an appearance often pairs with a poor self image. It might also appear in tandem with dropping grades.

A parent might suddenly notice that a teen has decided to use eye drops. If the teen has an eye condition, then the parent has limited reason to be alarmed. If the teen has always seemed to have trouble-free eyes in the past, then the parent might want to buy a home drug test kit. A teen on drugs would be apt to use eye drops in order to cover-up red or glassy eyes.

As mentioned above, a teen on drugs becomes intent on finding drug money. Parents who suspect drug use by a teen should be on the lookout for signs of stealing by that same teen. The teen could even resort to taking valuables from the home of his parents. The teen might ask to “borrow” money and then not return it. Evidence of any such behaviors would give parents a good reason for planning to examine the results of a home drug test kit.
