HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
Summer time means free time for teens across the Valley, and that can be a bad thing.
According to a national study, June and July are the peak months for teens trying drugs and alcohol, including teens in the Valley.
With the internet, it's easier than ever for kids to get their hands on illegal drugs, so it's time for parents to step up to the plate and monitor what our kids are doing online.
"Talk to your kids and let them know what's going to happen if you try any of these drugs because they can get prescription pills that can kill them after one dosage," said Deborah Soule with Partnership for a Drug-Free Community.
Soule also said a great prevention tool is to keep your teens active during the summer. Enroll them in youth groups or volunteer work and know exactly what they're doing.
