Some nervousness about being away from home is normal for teens, especially around big transitions like back to school. But when it turns into frequent refusal, physical symptoms, or ongoing distress, it may be more than typical adjustment.
Newport Academy explains the difference and how parents can help.

October 24th is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
Unused or expired medications sitting in a cabinet are more accessible than most parents realize, similar to how alcohol at home is often the easiest source for underage use. Consider using this weekend to safely dispose of medications you no longer need.

Ni****ne is one of the most addictive substances available, and va**ng products often deliver higher concentrations than a traditional cigarette. Dependence can develop faster than most teens expect, sometimes within weeks of regular use. The good news: 95 percent of BHS students remain v**e free, proof that choosing not to start is entirely realistic.

Most Bolton students, across every grade level, say they have at least one trusted adult in their life. That relationship is one of the strongest protective factors against risky behavior. It doesn't have to be a formal conversation, sometimes it's just consistently showing up and being someone your teen knows they can go to.

As ma*****na has become more visible and, in some places, legal, many teens assume it carries little risk. Research tells a different story: regular use during adolescence has been linked to changes in memory, attention, and motivation, since the teenage brain is still developing well into the mid-twenties. Legal does not always mean low-risk.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. About one in five BHS students experience regular stress, and how classmates treat each other plays a real role in that. Checking in on someone who's being excluded, or simply sitting with them at lunch, can shift their whole day. Kindness is a form of prevention, too.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. If you've been feeling off lately, whether it's stress, low mood, or something harder to name, that's worth paying attention to. Talking with a counselor, trusted adult, or friend is a sign of strength, not weakness.
