Question

which indicator suggests that a teen may be abusing drugs?
○ loss of friends
○ being on time for curfew
○ missing one school assignment
○ volunteering for extra chores at home

Explanation:

To determine the indicator of teen drug abuse, we analyze each option:

• "Loss of friends" can occur as drug abuse often leads to social isolation or conflicts with peers, affecting relationships.
• "Being on time for curfew" is a positive behavior, not indicative of drug abuse.
• "Missing one school assignment" could be due to many non - drug - related reasons (e.g., forgetfulness, temporary stress), so it's not a strong indicator.
• "Volunteering for extra chores at home" is a positive, responsible behavior, not related to drug abuse.

Answer:

A. loss of friends
