Rhode
Island Teen Drug and Alcohol Abuse Facts
Do you really know how much -- or how often -- your teen
is exposed to the dangers of prescription drugs in school?
A George Washington High School student
says the most popular drugs at her school
may be those you have in your cabinet right now. She says
teens at her school use things like Xanax
and Oxycontin
to get high.
According to the West Virginia Department of Education in
2008 there were 339 prescription drug related cases reported
in schools across the state.
The high school student also warns of something called "Pharm
Parties" where teens put a variety of prescription
drugs in a bowl, pick a couple, a take them with alcohol which
is a potentially deadly combination.
What is really alarming is that teens are reporting that they
are smoking the pills instead of swallowing or snorting them.
Smoking pills is more dangerous than taking them by mouth
or snorting them, because the drug goes directly from the
lungs to the brain, instead of being slowly absorbed through
the stomach, kidney and other organs.
The Department of Education in Rhode Island, says you should
keep your prescription drugs locked up, keep track of how
many pills you have, and educate your children on the dangers
of taking prescription medication.
