"My teenage son (14 years old) has been using drugs and acting very strange lately.  He's disrespectful and I've found used condoms in the trash can in his bathroom, and drug related magazines in his room.  He listens to anti-social rock music and gangster rap all day long.  I know he's been sneaking his girlfriend in when his father and I are asleep.  His grades are falling, and he brags to his younger brother and sister about using drugs.  I've heard of a program in Madeira Beach, Florida, called "SIBS".  Does anyone have information on this program?  I just want my son to stop acting so strangely!  We really love him and will spare no expense to help him.

But...he's using condoms.  I thought that was a good thing...

And I think listening to "antisocial" music is, um, normal for a teenager.

I don't understand why parents get all worked up over minor shit like this.  By the way, you will make an enemy out a teenager when you take them away from their first girlfriend/boyfriend.  Trust me.  That kind of shit is not easy to get over.
