    FREE Newsletter For Parents and Other Caring Adults
    Have you ever heard of lean? Do you know how to IM your teen? True or false: 3,000 teens try marijuana for the first time each day? There's an easy way to help parents find the answers and keep up with what's going on in their teens' world. When it comes to keeping youth drug-free, PARENTS MATTER. In fact, teens who are close to their parents are less likely to engage in drug use and other risky behaviors.

    As a leader in your community, you can give parents and other caring adults a head start on getting up-to-date information on drug use and teen trends, while also making a positive influence in their teens' lives. Encourage them to subscribe to TheAntiDrug.com's Parenting Tips Newsletter.

     By subscribing to the free e-newsletter, parents and caregivers will receive bi- monthly tips and strategies that provide practical ways they can help keep their teenagers healthy and drug-free.

    Recent newsletters include:
    ** A five-part series on Teens & Technology, with tips on how parents can monitor their teens' use of the Internet and cell phones.
    ** New research findings and how parents should use the information to keep their teens drug-free.
    ** Emerging drug trends like "Lean" (a mixture of alcohol and cough syrup), and how parents can identify signs and symptoms of use.
