look up PHARM parties or TRAIL MIX
And you will SEE what our YOUTH has to look forward to (at a PARTY)...
It's FRIGHTENING to see but,,, we as parents NEED to be AWARE of what's going on with our children today...
A PHARM party doesn't mean going out to a friends FARM.. it means.. stealing your parents/siblings drugs and taking them to a party to THROW them into a BOWL for every body to take...
these meds could be anything from narcotics to blood pressure meds to Viagra....
Let's not forget.... the TRAIL MIX....which is a baggie filled up with various drugs (from your parents/siblings supply) and HANDED to you for you to take... who KNOWS what's in it... You just take it and HOPE for a GOOD HIGH!
If you are a parent or sibling.... PLEASE be AWARE of this latest trend and LOCK UP YOUR MEDS....
It could be the matter of LIFE OR DEATH...

I agree lock them up yrs ago before pills really became big my sis went thru my medicine cabinet and took like 6 my lortabs and i didn't even notice till end month and i was 6 short well i thought my room mate at time took them an he got his butt chewed well I found out weeks later that it was my sis cause mom told me that my sis had go a hold someone pills and took some made sick as dog...haha From that point on I have always had them under lock and key an if i have some w/me only enough for the day....
i am sorry if i took this to light, it is a good post with good advise on it!
reminds me of a country song....back when i was young a ho was a ho, crack is what you were doing when you were crackin a joke.....lol, back when i was young a farm party was grandad waking us up at 3am to work the farm!
Its definately good advice there. All pills should always be locked up.
I think before we start thinking all school kids are going down this path we should think about the effect of the internet. These days everyone in general and young people in particular run their lives off the net ... which leaves a trail about a mile wide.
In the past they would have arranged this kind of thing over the phone or in person, which we as adults would not get to see. Now we can see it so we naturally feel its got worse, which it may well have done but the higher visibility makes it appear worse whether it is or not.
The other thing is that social networking and support sites mix ages, countries and social groups up like never before. I mean I'm 40 and outside the net the chances of me having a meaningful conversation with anyone under 20 is a big fat zero. Whereas here the whole mix of people appear so, again 40ish people like myself will see more kids with addiction problems. They might have been just as numerous before, its just I didn't see them so again it might be a perception thing...
I'm not saying we shouldn't be concerned though, if I was a parent I'd be drug testing my kids on the sly as they are so vulnerable to peer pressure ... fall in with the wrong crowd and its likely to be messy.
