Meth

I found our speaker on Tuesday to be very interesting. The work he does for people around Lincoln is truly amazing. He was also a great speaker. He kept me constantly interested in his presentation and I liked how he had so many different stories and examples that really hit home on how much drugs and alcohol are problems among adolescents. When he talked about Meth I was almost surprised at some of the stories he told. I had no idea that Meth was so widely used in Nebraska and some of the stories were absolutely disgusting. It is also cool how the speaker had been through a lot of those problems himself as and adolescent. It gives him an insight to how those kids are feeling and I feel like he is better equiped to help them as well. He knows better than anyone else what those kids need to hear. It scares me because sometimes kids just do not like to listen to authorties . I do not know how I would take it if my kid would not listen to me. Those parents are being put in a very hard situation. I also learned that it is illegal to kick kids out of the house. I have heard of many parents who have done that and it has never been a big issue. It is a very good law in my mind and I think it helps keep children out of trouble.
