Worried your teen might be using drugs? It’s not always easy to tell.
Mood swings, changes in friends, or a lack of motivation can all seem like typical teenage behaviour—but when these changes become ongoing or more extreme, they could be signs of something more serious.
Look out for patterns such as:
• Increased secrecy or withdrawal from family
• Changes in sleep, appetite, or personal hygiene
• Sudden financial issues or asking for money more often
• Loss of interest in hobbies or school
The most important thing is to stay calm and keep communication open. Early conversations—without judgement—can make all the difference in getting the right support.
