Down The Wrong Path
By

There are so many wrong paths that can be taken nowadays in modern cultures. Here you are going to read about two paths taken by so many teen-agers and their clueless parents.
A divorced professional woman has a son and a daughter. The problems centers around her and her 15-year-old son and how clueless she is about her son’s daily behavior. This particular problem can be multiplied by a five-figure number throughout the American culture.
During her son’s elementary school days he was an obedient, honest, and very good student. Then, once he got settled in the high school environment, everything changed very noticeably and drastically: he became a confirmed and addicted pot smoker; his behavior deteriorated; he no longer is honest, obedient, and a good student. It’s an existing parental nightmare. An investigation into activities at his high school has established that pot smoking and the graduation to heroin is common. This does not bode well for son and mother.
A good friend of the professional woman has alerted her about what is going on at her son’s high school, but the mother has her head in the sand and chosen to take the clueless path. That put two people on the wrong path: mother and son. Her reply was alarming. “He is just experimenting. I want him to get it out of his system before he enters college”. My goodness! What a clueless professional mother!
There are several factors clueless mother has to quickly realize about her very addicted son. It may take a very long time for her stoned on weed addiction to get out of his system. What happens to him when he gets bored with grass? Will he graduate to a more serious (heroin) addiction? And as his very good student record has deteriorate, will he ever get into college at all after spending his high school years stoned on grass?
Clueless mother has to pull her head out of the sand. She has to listen to her friend who is desperately trying to help her before what is certainly down the road becomes a very sad reality in her life and that of her son’s. Clueless mother has to get professional help for herself and her son. Her peace of mind and the future success of her son are dangerously hanging in the balance. Her son has to get back on the straight and narrow and become what he once was: an obedient, honest, and very good student without delay! Mother and son have to work it out together, because plenty of potential trouble is waiting around the corner: a long lasting addiction; graduation to heroin and cocaine; prison; skid row; no college for addicted son; a life of great regret for clueless mother’s failure to understand and act positively in time.
