Teens Pop Parents' Prescription Pills

Teenagers are beginning to increase their abuse of prescription drugs, especially painkillers. One reason this is happening is because they are easy to obtain. Most teens are raiding their parents' medicine cabinets and finding exactly what they are looking for without having to pay or search the black market for them. What else could contribute to this increase in the popularity of pill popping?

pain pills are becoming a "legal high" for many teens. Once teens can obtain these pills, they realize how easy it is. There is no control on it, even when parents don't have it in the home. Itsjust like any other drug, where there is a want, there is a service provided.
