Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescent drug users are more likely to perceive their parents as distant, uninvolved, and mistrusting, as compared to non-using adolescents. This perception may be a result of the communication gap that arises due to the drug use and the consequent behavior changes in the adolescent. Parents may also unknowingly exhibit these behaviors due to frustration and disappointment with the child's drug use.
