There are several warning signs that may indicate a teenager is using drugs. These include sudden changes in behavior, such as a decline in academic performance or an increase in secretive behavior. They may also include physical changes such as bloodshot eyes, unexplained bruises or sores, and unexpected weight loss. Other warning signs can include mood swings, agitation, odd smells or toiletries missing from the house, unfamiliar phone numbers on the bill and frequent arguments with family members. If these warning signs are present it is important to talk openly with your teenager to determine if they are utilizing drugs or medications.
