TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey
Thanks for writing us at TEEN LINE. To have the people who are supposed to be taking care of you not be responsible and messing around with drugs must be really difficult and scary. Do you have any adults you trust? This could be a school counselor, family member, teacher, or a coach. If you talk to them maybe they could help you figure out what the best thing to do is. There is no reason you should be having to deal with this alone. This is something adults should be taking care of, but it should be taken care of. With your parents doing drugs, it sounds like they're not themselves and it's good that you understand this needs to change. It's great that you have a friend you have to talk about this with. It might also help to talk with people who are going through the same situation as you by calling Alanon/Alateen at 09 309 4792. And of course, you can always contact us at TEEN LINE through out chat online. We're open from 6pm to 10pm pacific coast standard time. We look forward to hearing from you.
