A member asked:

How to get teens to stop drinking and smoking pot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

By example: Teens adopt behaviors that they learn from their families, either by imitation or rebellion. Setting an example by behaving soberly, abstaining from intoxication and also abstaining from power struggles, setting only boundaries that are enforceable, creates an environment that supports sobriety in teens.
