Younger Kids Lured into Drugs

Officials in some areas of New Zealand are finding that kids are being lured into drug experimentation at increasingly younger ages.
"Their observation comes after a shocking incident... in which seven children from Simla Primary School in Shallcross overdosed on Ecstasy. It is believed that one of the seven pupils took the drugs from a home to a school function."
Official say that children as young as 11 and 12 are experimenting with drug and alcohol use, and nearly half of those abuse multiple substances.

The Substance Abuse section of the Teen-Help-Directory offers information for parents about teen drug and alcohol abuse.
