Sad fact about teenagers prescription drug abuse

In 2007 about 2.5 million new teen drug abusers. Half of these teenagers die from drug abuse and it is a horrible thing to see. It makes me sad and want to do something about it. I would like to find a way to talk to teenagers to tell them that it is a waste of their time to do prescription drugs. I would start a program that allow them to focus on better things like start clubs and also book clubs about to stop prescription drug abuse.

I want teenagers to understand that their life is worth more than they think that they can stop using prescription drugs and talk it over with professionals that work with teenagers with that problem.

Teens prescription drug abuse and even OTC is on high rise. What parents can do on their part is to periodically check on the activities of teens and any irregular behavior or health problem should be monitored carefully. I think most of this misleading information to use/abuse prescription drug or OTC mostly comes from their social circle at school. High school variables have changed a lot in couple of years, and now we see that teens experiment more & more in order to get high and they can find what they want, even school officials should monitor on the activities of teens carefully. Read the informative blog specially written on High school and it's Variables.
