Resources for talking to your student about va**ng are a little harder to find than articles about its dangers. One article encouraged parents to start talking to your kids when they are very young. That doesn't work for us, because we had never heard of va**ng when our kids were very young!

The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids is one resource that gives information on what parents should look for, as well as how to talk to your teen. The link is below:

Red Ribbon Week started today. What is Red Ribbon Week? The last full week of October each year, schools around the nation will observe Red Ribbon Week, the largest and longest-running annual campaign dedicated to drug prevention. Red Ribbon Week is used as a way of taking a stand for our hopes and dreams through a commitment of saying “no” to drugs and alcohol.
