If you know a teenager, or you are a teenager yourself, who has a drug problem or is thinking about trying drugs you should really check out this show called A&E Intervention. I work for A&E and we air this show to demonstrate to the world the affects of people who have become drug addicts and alcohol abusers, because they did not think trying it once or twice would result in them being addicted. The people who agree to do the show take viewers through their daily routines and show how their addiction plays into their lives as well as the people in it. It’s very realistic and interesting so be sure not to miss it. New episodes can be seen every Monday at 9PM/8C on A&E. Clips can also be seen on http://www.aetv.com/intervention.
