damn, this girl obviously doesnt understand human nature
drug testing works quite well at increasing the communication gap, aids in building a distrustful and resentful relationship
Quote:
When a drug test may be waiting for them at home, teens have extra incentive to say 'no'.
I would say NO, to my parents and home testing, "boot my ass out mother, do I steal from you to support a habit, do I cause a serious disruption in the house, am I into alot of trouble all the time? where is the trust, do you lie to me so often that you feel you cannot believe what I say?"
I actualy had this conversation with my mom, it opened her eyes to honesty and respect.

"Parents need to know if their children are using drugs, but most don't like to imagine that it could be 'their child' using drugs." says Linzy Hildreth, a 17 year-old girl who believes the pluses greatly outweigh the minuses when it comes to drug testing teens. "Studies show that while only 18% of parents believe that their teens have tried drugs, 53% of teens admit use of drugs. By drug testing at home, parents are not only confronting the problem but also are doing something about it."
"yeah son, I smoked pot and did a little coke, wasnt that big of a deal really, if I can be honest enough about it you can as well. I'd rather know because I prefer the truth, why would I be pissed off about honesty as opposed to picking you up at the jail dor drug charges, well actualy I wouldnt be picing you up there,I'd let you ass rot and when you were released you would need a place to live because if I cant trust you not to lie to me I cant trust you in my home"
what happened to communication, did parents forget what being young was. dont they remember what they did? I was never lied to by my parents and because of that I was much more honest, my mom used to street race, steal gas from work trucks, smoked a little herb, hung out with bikers and even cruised in a stolen car for a few months. all my father could do is lie, thank god I didnt want to be like him!

To help parents and teens, Linzy has created a website (www.drugtestyourteen.com) where parents can learn more about teen drug use, get information on how to talk with their teens, and can even purchase drug tests-- all in the privacy of their homes.
'Learn to talk with their kids', "son, heres a cup go piss in it!" DTYT.COM is a comercial site, the little bitch just wants to make Cop of the year, excerpt from siteThis is me, Linzy, 17 year old President of Drug Test Your Teen. I am urging ALL parents to randomly and frequently drug test their teenagers. is she so concerned because he 12yo sister is turning tricks for rock or because she dont get no money if teens dont get tested! find me some usable information on that site that shows how to open the lines of communication with kids!

Most would agree that no topic is more frightening to parents than teen drug abuse. Each year thousands of lives are lost or ruined by this nationwide epidemic.
"Mom and dad, I have AIDS, unfortunately the $10 a week you give me for an allowance wasnt enough to buy my school lunches or get insurance and gas in that POS car you got me, I couldnt even get the radiator fixed so I started giving blowjobs to you friends for $20 and well I came back positive for HIV" sound a little worse than 'I smoked a joint pop' what ruins a life quicker.
Why doesnt she want parents to assist their children in making well informed choices and to accept the responsibility of their actions.
Quote:
Now that the technology is available for parents to get honest answers, she believes they should not be afraid to take advantage of it. Teens may object to being tested, saying that their parents don't "trust" them. This is understandable, but a teen that has overcome the peer pressure to use drugs should be proud and anxious to prove it to their parents.
drug testing doesnt give you hones answers, it give you results, pos or neg, want an answer, then ask a damn question! If you teen objects to your popping him/her with a piss test maybe it's because they think you dont trust him/her, could it be because you dont, because you never spent the time to teach them about honesty, responsibility and respect, as a teen my response to drug testing to prove
they are worth trusting "prove you love me, respect me and trust me by asking me if I use with out blowing your stack or sending me to rehab, then I might piss in you cup, lie to me and I will piss in a cup but it will be your coffee!"
Quote:
Executives, professional athletes, truck drivers, and policemen have to prove that they are drug-free. Why not teenagers?
because drug testing isnt an excuse for responsible parenting? maybe athletes are making 5+ million a year and because of the contract it's mandatory, I never heard of an executive being drug tested, they make the policy they never submit to them, kinda like parents.
Quote:
Linzy has already known kids who have been involved in terrible car wrecks, been expelled from school, received jail terms, and even died as a direct result of drug and alcohol abuse.
life happens, regardless of the drugs, I havent died and I was using since a very early age, oddly enough I have never been arrested, expelled or had a terrible car wreck, could it be because my mother and I talked about it when the subject of drug testing first came up, she was open to my response and accepted it as the truth, if she didnt believe me she never let on, when I busted her searching my room I asked why and she gave me an hones answer, she didnt find anything because I respected her rules "dont bring it in my house", she found my bacardi when I was 17 and made a rum cake, it was on my dresser, my punishment was to eat some cake and deal with it because I knew better than to bring it in the house. well mom, at least I didnt hide it from you 
Quote:
Even her own little sister became involved in the 'drug scene' at the age of 12! She says adults would be amazed if they knew how easily teens can obtain drugs and how many actually use them, even some of the so-called 'goody-goody' kids that no one would ever suspect are using drugs.
I knew a goody-goody, she dealt drugs and gave crabs and clamidia as a bonus for your purchase, I thought she was a bitch because she wouldnt let me have any!
Quote:
John P. Walters, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, speaking about teens who use drugs said "If our schools and parents were to utilize recognized, successful intervention techniques, including drug testing, we would be able to identify these youth and get them the counseling and treatment they need to turn away from drug use".
kinda like the drug recognition that the cops are trained with, I've sat and talked with them at work when I was tripping or stoned? wow they could really tell how messed up I was, or if they really were able to tell they didnt seem to care, much like the cops that have let me go for small quantities of weed or the ones that have said, they have more important things to worry about than potheads.
Quote:
Linzy is convinced that these tests give kids another reason to 'say no', one that their peers will understand.
I can say that regardless of testing, I've heard that one knowingthat the guy was BSing because he just prefered not to use, I think linzy is just a greedy bitch thats trying to feed on parents fears of drug use to show there is no reason to trust their kids.
Quote:
When parents have drug tests in their home, it opens the lines of communication, and helps parents and kids to start talking freely about the problem. Linzy hopes that everyone will make their household policy "NO DRUGS" and let their kids prove it.
opens communication like "fuck you bitch, I'd rather be dead than take that test for you" how does forced compliance breed anything but resentment, wanna set a no drugs policy, do so but set down punishment and make it severe enough to let them know your serious, then if it's violated, stick to your punishment. or you can simply talk with your kids and their friends but do it with the respect that a young adult deserves, after all thats what they are, capable of making decisions both good and bad but with a little love and understanding they are more likely to make wise decisions becuase they know the penalties are.
Quote:
Parents won't have to sneakily invade their teen's privacy, because everything about drug testing puts the subject out in the open.
that just takes the fun out of parenting, searching their room and swiping their rum, smoking their weed and when they discover it missing and you've said nothing to them and are waiting for them to ask about it. Thats the fun part. kids subjected to that kinda sneakyness begin to think they smoke too much and quit on their own or maybe the begin to believe in the weed fairy, the one that takes you weed and leaves you some clean underoos!
the view presented are just those of someone that never had to smack down his mother for snooping, nor has he seen the horrible things that occur from irresponsible drug use, they were generated by by a coconut that was taught to make decisions based on his own judgement good or bad and always to accept the consequences of his own actions with out placing the blame where it didnt belong
