My parents drink too much
Dear Bad Situation,
You can’t make them stop, but you are not alone and can get help for this very serious problem. There are many support systems for kids. Alcoholism is a common disease that wreaks havoc on many families. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an organization that helps people swear off drinking, one day at a time. Alateen is part of AA and is for kids who have family members with drinking problems.
Visit www.aa.org or www.al-anon.alateen.org. Or call 1-88-4AL-ANON on weekdays—the call does not show up on your phone bill.
