Help kids take a stand against alcohol and drugs
With prom and graduation seasons here, teenagers may face more opportunities than usual to experiment with drinking and drug use. Kids turn to these
substances not only to look cool and fit in with the crowd but also because they may help them feel good, ease their nerves and make socializing easier.
Alcohol and drugs are addictive and harmful, as well as illegal. Using and abusing them can lead
to everything from bad decisions to death. But there’s much more for Christian teenagers to
consider when they’re faced with temptations of drugs and alcohol than just being safe.
In the Bible, Jesus instructs his followers to stay awake and alert in our everyday lives. He said
Satan is stalking us like a “roaring lion” (see 1 Peter 5:8), and he wasn’t kidding. God instructs
us to take up his armor (see Ephesians 6:13-17) so we can stand firm and resist temptation. He
also tells us to walk in the light (see 1 John 1:7). Nothing neutralizes our impact for God’s king-
dom faster, broader, and deeper than shadow living. Whatever we do, we should train kids to
live their lives in the light—away from the shadows that give Satan, God’s enemy, room to oper-
ate and leverage to sideline us.
So when you talk to your teenagers about the physical and legal reasons to steer clear of drugs and alcohol, remember to mention the spiritual reasons as
well. Then stop talking and set an example by how you live. God knows about all the temptations we face and wants to be the first place we turn during diffi-
culties.
Here’s a rundown on what really keeps kids
away from alcohol and drugs—and what
doesn’t:

Many lives have been ruined—and even destroyed—by alcohol and illegal substances. They
seem to offer people of all ages quick solutions to common life experiences of pain and
loneliness. But only God’s presence can truly fill our deepest longings. God wants his
children to make wise decisions that honor him, and he promises to renew our weak spirits
with his all-powerful Holy Spirit.
Going Deeper
At SimplyYouthMinistry.com, youth-culture expert Walt Mueller offers these tips for teaching your
teenagers about alcohol.
Most teenagers are left to get their information about alcohol from unreliable sources. Some learn from their
friends. Others learn from the media. Only about one in three middle school and high school students say their
parents talk to them “often” or “a lot” about tobacco, drugs and alcohol. Alcohol education should start when we
tell our preschoolers not to accept candy, gifts, pills, or rides from strangers. As they grow older, educate kids on
the different types of alcohol they’ll encounter and the dangers and effects of each. Don’t overstate the danger
by saying that everyone who drinks beer will die. Rather, tell kids about the potential short- and long- term
harmful effects of alcohol abuse in a truthful, realistic manner. Don’t assume that because teenagers are likely to
experiment it’s best to give them both the alcohol and a place to drink “safely.”
Seize teachable moments as kids encounter alcohol use and abuse in the media. Teach them to discern the false
messages. Help them pick apart the ridiculous promises and nature of alcohol ads. Teach them that it’s against
the law for minors to buy or drink alcohol. Teach kids that God has given them the responsibility to obey laws.
Read and study Romans 13:1-3, 6-7 with your kids. And if they get caught, be sure they’re given the wonderful opportunity to learn by suffering
the legal consequences of their actions. Don’t work to fix any of the legal ramifications. Read together what Scripture says about drunkenness in
passages such as Proverbs 23:20-21; 1 Corinthians 5:11; Galatians 5:19-21; and 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8. Finally, walk your talk. A code of biblical
moral conduct lived out in the house is the most powerful shaper of your child’s own spiritual values and behaviors.

Send the Right Messages to Teens
By Patrick Ryan, Program Director for Libertas Treatment Centers
Do you drink in front of your teen or serve alcohol at parties where your teens are present? What types of messages could you be
sending to your teen about alcohol consumption.
While it’s not always wrong to do these things in front of teens, there are some things to keep in mind if teens are around:
 Limit alcohol consumption and never drink to intoxication
 Don’t allow alcohol to be the focus of any social gathering
 Whether humorous or not, stories about drunkenness, past, present or future shouldn’t be shared
 Never use teens to serve alcohol to you or your guests
Alcohol shouldn’t be used or viewed as a problem solver after a hard day at work or after any other stressful activity.
Remember, every time you pick up an alcoholic beverage or choose not to drink, you’re communicating to your teens about responsible
drinking. Make sure you tell them where you stand on teen drinking and the consequences of drinking. Set firm rules and stick to them
and make it clear that no underage drinking is allowed at your home.
Libertas offers inpatient and outpatient programs to treat adolescent drug and alcohol problems; providing compassion for kids and
support for parents. For more, visit www.libertasgb.org
Did You Know? Even if a teen might not admit it, their parents are the number one influence in their lives so they learn most of their
habits from them, both good and bad.
