DRUG COURT

Re. drug court helping teens in the fight against addiction, this is wonderful.

This is the type of program that definitely needs to be implemented in 
Tennessee. Encouragement from outside sources, especially authority figures 
and their peers, means a great deal to teenagers. When I compliment my son, 
he sometimes says things like, "Aw, you're my mom. You're supposed to say 
that," or something to that effect.
