1 in 5 teens will have abused prescription drugs by the time they graduate high school. Some of those kids may become addicted and some may die from overdose.
Dear Shannanah
Many people mistakenly believe that because doctors give us prescription drugs and because cough and cold medicines are available at the local drugstore that they must be safe.
This is not true.
If used to get high or without the supervision of a physician,prescription drugs and cold and cough medicine are just as dangerous as illegal drugs.Learn how you can protect kids from prescription drug abuse.
Every day,2,500 teens use a prescription drug to get high for the first time. 12 to 17 year olds abuse prescription drugs more than they abuse ecstasy,crack/cocaine,heroin and methamphetamine combined! Only 1 in 3 report learning about the risks of prescription drugs from their parents.
You can change that. Visit our website and learn the three simple steps you can take to help keep kids safe in your home. Check outwww.drugfree.org/notinmyhouse.

Its loveliness increases;
It will never pass into nothingness;
But still will keep a bower quiet for us,
and a sleep full of sweet dreams,
