Do boarding schools reduce the risk of drug abuse?   Sending a child to one of the military boarding schools for troubled boys is a                             difficult decision for parents to make. How many parents really want their child                         that far away from them? And how many really want to not be able to kiss their                                 child good night at the end of each day? As difficult as the decision is to make,                                 sometimes it’s for the best.  When children are in public or private school, they are exposed to many different                           types of peers. Some peers will impact children positively, while others will                       influence them negatively and encourage them to drink or do drugs. Obviously,                       parents can’t be there 24/7 to monitor them, so it’s always a possibility for children                             to start doing drugs and drinking, which can lead to addiction or, even worse,                           overdosing.
