<p>■■■■■ or not, drug addiction and alcohol abuse are real problems for people of every age. There are a lot of unsavory characters that hang out on college campuses and kids have a lot of opportunity to get into trouble. I knew a great guy with a lot of potential who developed a nasty crystal meth problem. His parents had no idea until he was forced to come home and they saw the damage that had been done to him physically ( weight loss, etc.). If your gut instinct says that something is wrong it probably is andyou need to intervene as soon as possible. Bugging the computer is wrong but insisting on seeing his grades is OK. Just be prepared to deal with what you find out in a grown up manner. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated, you might have just one shot.</p>
