prescription abuse
Prescription pill abuse is definitely on the rise in America. Teens have stopped using the "norm" of alcohol and weed and started turning towards Xanex and such. It is really harmful stuff, people don't realize that taking prescription pills when you aren't prescribed them is truly almost more harmful that smoking weed. As many know, one of my friends Matt Twarowski iscurrently in a coma because of this. Honestly, his story better damn well change the way people act around here. It really bothers me how kids take their lives for granted.

I totally agree i thought that after the first 2 kids that passed away that went to stevenson would have an impact on people but it clearly didnt. Kids always think it wont happen to them or it can't happen to them but little do they realize it can happen to anyone.
It is really sad, but I am glad you are talking about it. I think that will help you deal with it, but it will also help others realize the dangers - more than parents or teachers, if it comes from each other you will affect change in the acceptance of that horrible abuse. Keep up the fight.
As a sociologist I also wonder why students turn to these things - is it because they are unsatisfied with their lives? Are their lives too easy? Are they trying to prove they are older/an adult/ cool? What drives this culture?
