Any good movies to show a 10 year old boy about the dangers of drug addiction?
Since he’s 10, I’d prefer to avoid heavy sexual themes. Just trying to help him understand how dangerous drugs are and how addiction can happen to any kid. Thanks!

Thirteen is about two drug addicted girls. There’s some sexual content but not a lot.
Just talk to him about the dangers, show him sites like abovetheinfluence.org, or get some books about the dangers. Movies without sexual themes might be hard to find and often just scare the heck out of kids. I know my dad made us watch a movie about drug abuse when we were little (the name escapes me), but it I couldn’t sleep the night after thinking someone would slip a drug into my drink and my life would go down the drain.
Take him to http://www.amenclinics.com and view with him the different pictures of what a brain scan looks like on drugs and alcohol. I have 2 children ages 11 and 9 and I think this website has helped very strongly with talking to my kids. It not only is interesting for them, but shows them the kind of damage that will be done with addictions to your brain.
This is a good link:

there are load of pics here for you to talk to your son about. Good luck
Blow! It might be a little intense for him, but he’ll definitely see how drugs can mess you up.
I say show it to him when he is 13… movies like that usually have an age restriction
Requiem for a Dream should do the trick. There is one sex scene that you’ll want to skip though. But otherwise it’d be very effective. Worked for me!
yeah chicken little is a good movie
Well, I would suggest the Basketball Diaries, but you said no heavy sexual themes. Even though the book was better(as always) you could try it.
Sitting a child in front of a movie to scare them into not doing something is never a good choice, usually the hint of prohibition provokes a rebellion stage in later life, if you want your son to be sensible when it comes to drugs, sex and things like this, then you should talk about these things and show complete openness in a balanced way. The personal approach from a parent also shows the child that you are not feared of discussing topics like this, encouraging the person to be open to talking about things with you if there is a problem in future. Putting fear into somebody often has adverse effects to what the parents want so try to be as honest and informative as you can be, without showing a particular dislike for something, they can subconsciously recognise this as a weakness and use it against you in later life. Happy parenting!
