I’ve been told that marijuana stays in your system for at least one month. Is this true?

I am 13 and I am very depressed. I’ve had a tough life, three years ago, my baby sister died, last year my best fried died, my mom and step dad abuse me and spend our money on drugs, and my sister just moved out so now I’m all alone. I have tried talking to my mom, but she doesn't understand. I sometimes do drugs and drink just to forget about my life, but I know it isn't healthy. I go to church every week to try to get help, but that doesn't work either. What should I do?

My mom does drugs and half of the time she’s out of it and we don’t hear from her for days. When I talk to her about this she tells me I’m selfish. I have to watch out for my 13-year-old sister because she thinks our mom doesn’t love her anymore. What can I do to make us be a family again?

My older brother may be doing drugs. Will my parents hate me for bringing them this news?

I’m 14 years old. When I was 5, my half-cousin babysitter would, make me touch him. I know that when he was doing this to me, he was going through a stage in his life where he was experimenting with alcohol and drugs. He has cleaned up now, married and has a good job. I feel comfortable around him now. Was he sexually abusing me? How serious is what he did and what should I do?

I have a bad problem with smoking and snorting pills. I never snort anything like cocaine, only Tylenol 3 or Ritalin. When I don't have cigarettes, I do pills, and vice-versa. When I try to quit smoking, I go to snorting. And when I try to give up the pills, I go for the cigarettes. I need help. How can I break two habits at once? I can't do one and then the other.

My older brother recently found out he is hypoglycemic. I'm 16 and have been struggling with an alcohol and drug problem. I tried staying clean, but after two months I was back to using and drinking. My mom told me that hypoglycemia is hereditary and most people that have it have drinking problems because they crave the sugar in alcohol. I've been to drug counselors and my doctor, they have offered many suggestions but nothing seems to be working. I crave alcohol badly and I don't know why. Could this be because I'm hypoglycemic?

Will a urine drug test be positive for marijuana if I was just in the same room with other kids who were smoking it? How long is a test positive after someone has smoked marijuana?
