Individual results by town are as follows: "Many parents see the signs ' of a drug or alcohol problem, but dont want to believe it could really be their children involved," according to Elaine Lee, one of the founders of the organization. She further states that some children hide their addiction well by attending church and doing other activities not conducive of a drug user. Parents are encouraged to look for mood swings, personality changes such as going from normally energetic and outgoing X X , i, N 'X il to becoming chronically depressed and uncommunicative, defensiveness, overly emotional such as inappropriately happy, hostile or angry, change in dress or friends and apathy are just a few signs of a possible drug problem. Lee warns that a child does not need to exhibit all these symptoms to have a problem, only a couple. Parents are also encouraged to watch for physical changes such as fatigue, bloodshot eyes, frequent colds, sore throats, coughing, runny nose, consistently run down condition or sudden weight changes could also be signs of a drug problem.
