For a while now I have seen the commercials on TV telling parents that they have to question their kids about what is going on in their lives. That is only part of the equation. They might actually try being part of their kids' lives. I'm not saying smother them with attention, because that can cause kids to rebel even harder. I'm saying take some time out of the week and actually try to get to know your kid(s). If you don't, then you might end up with a kid that sells drugs or a kid who is dead from any number of things. Trust me, a few hours a week isn't going to kill you.
