Younger and younger kids experiment with drugs in ConnecticutConnecticut kids are doing more drugs and starting younger, but the proposed $22 million in state budget cuts virtually eliminates all prevention programs.
National use of illegal drugs is rising after a significant drop in the 1980s and early 1990s, based on data from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The average starting age in the United States is 13 to 14.
In Connecticut, the average has dropped to age 11 for alcohol and inhalants and 12 for marijuana.
Susan K. Patrick, president of the Governor’s Prevention Partnership, said use is climbing mostly in the suburbs, where adolescents have money to spend on drugs.
Many kids are introduced to alcohol, marijuana and other drugs by older siblings at parties, she said.
Moreover, drug dealers are well known to youths, and drug education does not address underlying social issues such as the social use of drugs, she said.
Patrick said the trend toward earlier use is difficult to explain.
Anti-drug advertising has declined and the "medical marijuana" debate in Connecticut may suggest that marijuana is acceptable, she said.
Parents are also not communicating the risks of drugs effectively.
"Parents are out of it. They don’t think their kids are using drugs," Patrick said.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America found that 31 percent of teens questioned said they had learned "a lot" about drugs from their parents.
"Parents should talk to their kids," Patrick said.
They often do not because parents underestimate drug use.
Fourteen percent of parents said they believed their teenage child had tried marijuana, while 40 percent of teens said they had.
Only 1 percent of Connecticut parents suspected that their teens were taking the drug ecstasy. The actual number is 11 percent.
This is why drug prevention programs are important, Patrick said.
Roslyn Hamilton, director of the Connecticut South Central Regional Action Council, and Patrick said prevention programs are vulnerable because most are inexpensive, which makes them seem expendable.
Hamilton said private non-profit organizations will have to concentrate on prevention. "The focus will have to be on the community and the private sector," she said. The task will not be easy, she said.
"It takes time and energy to contact the kids and keep them engaged, especially in the summer. Keeping them occupied is the key to prevention," Hamilton said.
Being at home is not a foolproof deterrent.
"They may not be drinking beer in a field out back, but they can be getting into mischief," Hamilton said.
Working parents may have no alternative to leaving their kids unsupervised, she said. Finding activities for them is not easy.
"It takes a resilient parent who will go around and ask ‘What are you offering for summer programs?’" Hamilton said.
"If I had all the money I wanted, every 16-year-old kid would have a stipend to do something they don’t do during the school year," she said.
"The rest of the year there are after-school programs that kids are interested in and that parents know about," she said.
Most future substance abusers start using drugs as teenagers. Half start smoking, drinking and taking other drugs before they are 16.
Experimentation is inevitable, she said, but trying does not have to lead to using.
"Some kids are more self-confident, resilient and more sociable. They don’t need drugs as a crutch," she said.
