Governments, schools and social programs have attempted to forestall such abusive behavior by young people through school and community based programs as well as broad advertising campaigns, taxation and law enforcement. Yet the continued presence of substance abuse by youth in this country is unquestionable testimony to the fact that we need to do a more effective job for the sake of our young people and the well-being of our society.

If a young person hasn’t firmly decided not to start drugs by age 11, it is late to start talking to him about the subject.

National statistics show that by age 13 significant number of youth are already drinking and trying other illegal drugs.

Therefore, the equation is simple: either we educate our youth well enough to prevent them from becoming embroiled in the chaos of drug abuse, or we will have to struggle with an increasing population of seriously addicted adults.

While rehabilitation is a painstaking, individual-by-individual process, it is possible to provide drug education services to hundreds of young persons at a time.

Too many young people believe that they have at least some idea what they are getting into when they start experimenting with drugs. The truth is that most individuals – whether teenagers or adults – have little real knowledge of what drugs are and how they affect the body and mind.

Nor have they considered how it might be possible to feel good, have a good time, solve shyness, loneliness, pain – all the things drugs are supposed to solve – without resorting to drugs.

The Foundation for a Drug-Free World drug educational program doesn’t rely on scare tactics. Instead it provides substantive information which young people can understand and utilize to make personal, informed decisions regarding their use of such substances.

The Foundation for a Drug Free World is a non-profit organization actively involved in education programs in schools and in the community. The program is mainly addressed to youth.

 For information about drugs, the program, or to schedule a lecturer go to www.drugfreeworld.org.

 And for the person with a drug problem, there are real solutions to addiction. Narconon, a drug rehabilitation program that utilizes the methods of L. Ron Hubbard, has a success rate of more than 75% (www.narconon.org).

 The best solution, however, is not to begin using drugs in the first place.

Infertility Chat Rooms are a wonderful way to connect with other people who are struggling to get pregnant. In the early days of my own infertility I found that chat rooms offered an incredible way to alleviate the loneliness I felt almost all of the time.

Since infertility only hits about 10% of couples who try to conceive, it can be hard to find people to talk to that truly understand this sensitive issue. I can’t count how many times I heard comments like “I bet if you just relax it will happen” or my personal favorite “you can always adopt”. This is easy to say if you conceived your children easily. Struggling month after month and then year after year to have your own baby while everyone around you gets pregnant easily can be heartbreaking to say the least. The memory of this feeling is still sharp for me.

I spent countless hours in infertility chat rooms. The internet is a fabulous resource for information on how to get pregnant. It’s also a great resource for connecting with people who are interested in the same subjects as you are. Infertility is no different. I found that almost all of the other people I chatted with felt like I did. This alleviated the loneliness and even the shame I felt because I was infertile. These people reported being the recipient of most of the thoughtless comments that I had heard as well. Many had been treated far more thoughtlessly by friends and family than I had. All of this was provided by infertility chat rooms.

If you are going through a tough time in your life, you probably want someone to talk to about your problems. It can be hard to find people who can be there for you whenever you need a shoulder or an ear. Because of this problem, many people needing help, advice, or just someone to listen without judgment turn to places online like relationship chat rooms to get what they need. These people start out as strangers, but that is sometimes a huge bonus for those that need support. These can often be like local support groups, but end up being so much more.

Relationship chat rooms have sprung up everywhere on the Internet. They cover all types of relationships. Those that gravitate towards these sites are going through divorce, separation, loss of child custody, the death of a spouse or family member, job loss, or simple blowups with friends that are devastating to them. Some coming to these rooms have just experienced infidelity in their relationship. All of these types of relationships are different, but the pain is still the same. Life changes dramatically when personal and professional relationships fall apart, and loneliness is often a huge part of that. These chat rooms offer support and friendship when it is needed the most.

The advantages of these chat rooms are many. One of the best parts about finding relationship chat rooms that you can use to talk with others is that there is usually always someone online. That means you don’t have to worry about calling a friend in the middle of the night and waking them up. You can just log onto your relationship chat rooms to see who is online. You are not the only one that can not sleep. Someone else is needing the same thing that you are, so it can be easy to find someone to talk to no matter what time of day or night you are in need.

There are a few disadvantages as well. Not everyone in these relationship chat rooms are going to be nice people. Some are bitter and angry, and they just want someone to yell at or someone to soak up their frustrations. If you run into such a person, you can choose to be patient while understanding where their anger is coming from, or logging off to come back later when that person is no longer there. You can also get bad advice, as others are in the same spot you are and may not be thinking clearly.

It is best to navigate these relationship chat rooms carefully while taking advantage of all that they have to offer. Take advice with a grain of salt. Listen, but do not act on what you hear until you have had time to think about it. Look for chat rooms that are moderated in some way so that you are not abused by angry and violent chatters. Sometimes, great friendships come about because of these types of rooms, but you remember to use the same care you would use anywhere else online to stay safe.
