How Can I Help Troubled Teens?

Question by : How can I help troubled teens?
I am 21. I have not had the best life and I am finally away from all the negatives and on track for greatness. I really want to teach teens about drug abuse and drinking and how it can mess up your life. Both my parents are addicted to pills and I see how crazy things can get. I just want to find a way to give back and help someone who needs it. I wish someone reached out to me so Im trying to be that someone for some teen out there. Im in sacramento thanks

Answer by joe
you can become a motivational speaker and go and talk to kinds in school, like during a CALM class or health class, it makes a differrence This one girl came and talked to us while we were in grade 11, she was onl 21 and she had been doing it for 3 years, going to highschools and talking to kids about her fathers alocohl addiction. After hearing her story you kind of realise some people get addicted to alcohol and drink day to day for years, her father was still an alcoholic when she talked to us, and he was still amking court appearnces for drunk driving. Id hate to be in her fathers position, and I hate to have a daughter that has to go and talk about me at highschools, so i wont become an alcohlic.
