The hell of drugs seeks its customers, starting with children

Father of two children in adolescence, it is clear that the theme of the drug is sensitive to me. Whatever the school, public and even private, children from college, know that some sell hash, some students not to drink too cheerfulness (the euphoric effect) but to remove all emotion, prelude oblivious to the desire to delete.

The risks of adolescence are well within the will to find a way through all the contradictions, the young body training asking to speak, will for freedom but also to be heard, mothered. This is the age of all the risks because it can not be any limits beyond those imposed by parents.

Early on I had heard of the bestseller "Christiane F., 13, drugged prostitute ...", in early 1980 Not being involved in drugs, working in prep asshole ( the work was a form of "drug"), I had not felt the need to read it.

This book is exceptional. What a testimony! What depth! What a great search for truth! Sometimes the scenes made me clench fists, swearing of "how awful" I was so surprised. This passionate girl describes the path to hell, the first seal in the first shot of heroin to physical dependence and the even more dramatic mental dependency in a vicious circle leading to suicidal thoughts and acts for many addicts. Prostitution is required beyond the flight to get daily fortune for payment of heroin shoots. Boys, girls find out their foul pedophile customers.

The story is that of a biography - the result of an interview two months with two journalists - Christiane F., Berlin teenager from 1976 to 1978. He interrupted the testimony of people who, knowing Christiane express their visions the suffering of children and their reactions rarely adapted to the situation: his mother, an anti-drug guide.

I urge parents of teenagers reading this book and to offer them reading. It is fortunate that circulates moreover, already among adolescents without us knowing.
