Please help my at risk child from Lewiston, ME find affordable help before its too late

Troubled teens are "at risk children" whose life has gotten out of control; they may be using drugs and alcohol, acting out in defiance, running away, and have dropped out of school. These teens may be getting in trouble with the law (underaged drinking, vandalism, or running away). An at risk youth may not be involved with any illegal activity, but still be considered "at-risk".  For example, a girl may be allowing her boyfriend to abuse her and not know which way to turn. A young man may have been sexually abused when he was younger and too ashamed to tell anyone. There are literally thousands of factors that would create an "at-risk-youth".

These struggling teenagers may have gotten mixed up in a suburban gang (gang wannabees) and they care more about the "acceptance" from their peers than they do about their future.  They know they are heading in the wrong direction, but don't care.  The acceptance of their peers are way too important. Troubled teens are any teenager who is involved in things that can ruin their life, or even end it. They may not even realize what shape they are in and that they need help.  At risk teens can be immature teenagers who are entitled.  Meaning, their parents have provided everything and the child is simply spoiled (demanding, selfish, self-centered, lazy, irresponsible).

Some at tisk teens may be involved with drugs, but not all at-risk youth are abusing substances. However, for parents - the more you know about what may be going on behind your back, the better prepared you will be to deal with your child's situation (preferably before it becomes a major issue). A lot of parents look at their child's outrageous behavior as a "phase" that they will grow out of... and its true, some teens do go through a short rebellious stage.  Unfortunately, most teens do not go through a phase without serious consequences.  If your child is "at risk", we can help you gind an affordable treatment intervention option.  

At-risk-teams from Lewiston, ME will rise up to expectations set before them

At-risk youth are often channeled to programs with special, reduced expectations for performance, especially academic performance. The effective schools, research strongly suggests, that schools establish and maintain high expectations and standards for all students and focus on helping them all meet those expectations. At-risk youth exhibit a lack of and strong need for success. With clear goals and objectives recommended by the effective schools, research shows, at-risk youth can move toward and achieve measurable success in school.

Famous QuotesA man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to set foot in it. We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope; without it the life of the cities would drive all men into crime or drugs or psychoanalysis. Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

Famous QuotesThe successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way. Dale Carnegie Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation. Charlotte Bront, The preparation of good food is merely another expression of art, one of the joys of civilized living Dione Lucas
