This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Adolescent children are often too immature and inexperienced to drink responsibly, and can easily become addicted to alcohol. Parents play a key role in identifying and addressing the problem as soon as possible. If you suspect your child is an alcoholic, start reading.- Alcoholic teenagers, and staves, a problem to talk aboutAlcohol is becoming more and more the big protagonist on Saturday night for kids. In a few years, the consumption of alcohol in the younger age group has more than doubled, from 14 to 17 years. The figures are worrying. 13% of 15-year-olds state that they have drunk at least 20 times in their lives. There are worrying elements in adolescent drinking. First of all the fact that they consider it normal, non-transgressive behavior. Today, for young people, drinking is credited as a fashionable, sophisticated, image of sociality and success. Another aspect is the fact that it is excessively drunk: there is no taste for the single glass, but the search for the high. The most disturbing is that alcohol is now the substance of entry into the world of drugs. Alcohol consumption is often accompanied by of ecstasy, cannabis, cocaine and this happens more easily in gathering places, such as discos.- Frequent requests for money are accompanied by excuses constructed perfectly and difficult to unmask, the disappearance of valuables from the home, little commitment to activities, difficulty concentrating, sleep and extreme physical fatigue and alteration of appetite.- On an emotional level, it may appear more aggressive, irritated and short-tempered with sudden changes in mood, intolerance, indifference towards others and not very willing to cooperate and help even in usual matters.- The drug world is something that alarms and scares parents. The figures for 2018 are alarming as there is an increase in overdose deaths among the very young, adolescents.- The discovery that one's child takes drugs is for a parent something poignant and extremely worrying and often followed by total confusion with respect to how to act- Since the effects of alcohol drugs allow us to experience a sense of "well-being", the person will come to attribute to a certain amazing substance the role of "solution to the problems of life", so as to do everything possible to prevent it anyone could get involved in this "partnership".- Parents are often the last to realize the phenomenon. The kids who drink They take all precautions so that the father and mother do not notice anything.- - And yet there will be signs to watch out for ...- Pay attention to the reduction of the ability to think and judge.- Pay attention to changes in your child's physical appearance.- Pay attention to motivational declines- Pay attention to changes in your child's social life- Check if it tells lies or has other dishonest behavior.If you think your child has problems with alcohol, don't wait. Take immediate action to ensure that you do not have access to alcohol and make an appointment with your family doctor. A doctor might recommend treatments for adolescent children with alcohol and drug addiction problems.- Search for help for you too.

Download or read book The Impact of Self concept on Adolescent Alcohol Use and Suicidal Behaviors written by Lauren A. Bartsch and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent alcohol use is a major public health problem in the United States. Few studies have examined the relationship between specific components of mental health (i.e. self-concept) and alcohol use, particularly across the varying developmental years. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of self-concept on recent alcohol use (past 30 days) and recent binge drinking (five or more alcoholic beverages on one occasion) across three developmental ages. This study employed secondary data analysis using the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). All participants were in grades 7-12 (N = 6,504) and completed the computer assisted in-home interview. A total of 17.3% of youth reported recent alcohol use and 11.3% reported recent binge drinking. Overall, recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking increased with increased grade levels. Youth who were male and white were also more likely than their counterparts for recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking. Youth with low self-concept were at increased odds for recent alcohol use. This held true regardless of sex, race and grade. Youth with low self-concept were at increased odds for recent binge drinking among male and female students, white students, and students in grades 7-8 and grades 11-12. Students in grades 7-8 with low self-concept had the highest odds ratios for recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking in comparison to students in grades 9-10 or 11-12 with low self-concept. Results of this study underscore the importance for health educators and preventionists to consider the impact of self-concept on youth substance use at differing grade levels when developing substance abuse prevention efforts. Youth suicide is in the top leading causes of death among adolescents and remains an important public health issue for health professionals today. Few have examined a more intrapersonal form of mental health, an individual's overall self-concept. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation and suicide attempts across three grade levels. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). All participants were in grades 7-12 (N = 6,504) and completed a computer assisted in-home interview. A total of 12.8% of youth reported suicidal ideation and 3.5% reported attempting suicide in the past 12 months. Overall, suicidal ideation increased with age whereas suicide attempts were consistent among the three groups. Female youth were significantly more likely than male youth to experience both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Youth with a low self-concept were at increased odds for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts regardless of sex, race, or grade. Interestingly, the impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation noticeably increased with increased grade level. Odds ratios for suicidal ideation show those with low self-concept were 2.8 (7th/8th grade), 3.5 (9th/10th grade), and 4.4 (11th/12th grade). The impact of self-concept on suicide attempts did not increase but rather remained consistently high among the three age groups. Future research is needed to explain reasons for the pronounced impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation with progressing age. Results from this study support the need for incorporating self-concept into suicide prevention efforts for youth.

Keep in mind that the suggestions on the following pages are just that-suggestions. Trust your instincts. Choose ideas you are comfortable with, and use your own style in carrying out the approaches you find useful. Your child looks to you for guidance and support in making life decisions-including the decision not to use alcohol."But my child isn't drinking yet," you may think. "Isn't it a little early to be concerned about drinking?" Not at all. This is the age when some children begin experimenting with alcohol. Even if your child is not yet drinking alcohol, he or she may be receiving pressure to drink.Act now. Keeping quiet about how you feel about your child's alcohol use may give him or her the impression that alcohol use is OK for kids.It's not easy. As children approach adolescence, friends exert a lot of influence. Fitting in is a chief priority for teens, and parents often feel shoved aside. Kids will listen, however. Study after study shows that even during the teen years, parents have enormous influence on their children's behavior.
Download or read book Reducing Underage Drinking written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Book excerpt: This book gives insight as to how to deal with the many different challenges that parents face as their child moves into the adolescent phase of development. Such challenges include teenage defiance, family discord and family disconnection, teenage anger, cyberbullying, drugs and alcohol, and mental instability. The author employs the concept of influence rather than control, purposeful direction rather than rigidity, and expansion rather than contraction. The book discards the concept of self-worth as a means to encourage. Rather, a different dialogue is used to encourage, guide and motivate. Ultimately by changing the dialogue it promotes individuality and autonomy and, harmony and connection. The aim here is to harness a young person’s innate gifts and to promote personal qualities. As parents reflect in the change in dialogue, what unfolds is a movement towards being real, being authentic, and being true to themselves. The presence of this awareness raises their level of consciousness, and what arises is a way of being that aligns more with the universal principles of love, peace, compassion, and harmony.
