Wasted is a complete guide for Australian parents with teenagers. In 2014, the average age for teenagers to experiment with drugs and alcohol was 15 years of age. Author Trent Southworth, ex NSW police, knows just how easy it is for young adults to get caught up in recreational drug use.
There is no denying that illicit drugs are easily available in Australia - throw in some bullying, peer pressure and a desire to seem cool, and a dangerous outcome awaits.
Trent believes that the most important foundation for safety starts at home. Parents need to educate their children and themselves about drugs: what do they look like? How much do they cost, what are the symptoms and where can they be found?
