<human>: What can I do to prevent my teenager from becoming a drug addict?
<bot>: One of the most important things you can do is to create an open and honest dialogue with your teenager about drugs. Talk openly and honestly about the dangers associated with using drugs, as well as the potential consequences if they continue to use them. Make sure your teen understands that there are other options available for managing stress and dealing with difficult emotions. Encourage them to seek help from professionals such as counselors or psychologists who specialize in substance abuse treatment. Additionally, provide your teenager with information on how drugs affect the body and brain, and emphasize the importance of avoiding peer pressure. Finally, be supportive and understanding towards your teen during this challenging time.
