my thoughts

i think my topic is very important. people do not realize how dangerous abusing perscription drugs can be an dit is very important to try and educate more people about it. Parents need to know more and so do their children. programs in schools such as DARE arn't enough. the mainly concentrate on marijuana and alcohol. occasionally they touch on cocain and heroin but none of these are the prefferd drugs by todays teens. Most teens are taking pills that you need a prescription to get, no just over-the-counter drugs like cough and cold medicines.

february 16. drugs and teens.
*when people hear my topic most people probably think of marijuana. up until recent years marijuana was the by far the most common drug among teens but not anymore.
*whats wrong with this? its not correct. every parent, teacher or future parent should know what drugs are really being circulated in todays teenage world. marijuana is not the danger anymore.
*a value judgement the public makes is that drugs are wrong and harmful. Most parents try to teach their kids to stay away from drugs and to educate them on the dangers, although most parents today lack the proper knowledge about drugs anyway. Then you do have the parents who don't really care about their kids smoking pot. They don't condone it at all.
*if people understood what teens are getting into in todays society they might be a little more apprehensive about their teens getting envolved. if parents knew that smoking pot isn't the popular drug anymore they would probably step up and get more envolved in their teens life.
