Bradford Health Services – Secretiveness in Teens May Be a Sign of Alcohol or Drug Abuse.mp4 – Recovery Moments The teenage years are a challenging time for both teenagers and their parents. Teenagers, stuck between adulthood and childhood, must contend with a number of physical and psychological changes. Many attitudes and actions of your typical teen can resemble behavior that might signify substance abuse or a mental health issue. As part of asserting their independence, teenagers place a high premium on privacy…to the point of being secretive. Children who never thought to conceal much of anything from their families suddenly become very protective of their world and selective about what they share with their parents. This may or may not be indicative of a problem. Smell is one of the main things that give teenagers away when they’re abusing drugs or alcohol. If you smell smoke, alcohol, or drugs — whether it’s in their room or on their clothes — you have strong reason to be concerned.
