Worried About Your Teen Using Drugs or Vaping? You’re Not Alone

Today’s teens are under immense pressure—school stress, social expectations, and the constant pull of social media can make it hard to cope. Many teens turn to substances like drugs and vapes to escape or fit in. They may feel relief, excitement, or even a sense of belonging when using, but as a parent, you know the dangers lurking beneath. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating to watch your child struggle, especially when they don’t listen or hide their habits.

Common Pain Points for Teens:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by school, social pressures, or family expectations

  • Using drugs or vapes to escape stress, anxiety, or feelings of inadequacy

  • Experiencing peer pressure to use substances as a way to fit in or be accepted

  • Feeling temporarily relaxed, calm, or “cool” when using, despite knowing the risks

Common Pain Points for Parents:

  • The fear and worry of knowing how harmful substance use and vaping can be

  • Frustration when your teen won’t listen or sneaks around to use substances

  • Feeling helpless and unsure of how to intervene without pushing them further away

  • Struggling to understand why they’re using despite your efforts to protect them
