My son has inherited the OCD and anxiety from me, so he totally gets the importance of taking his pills every morning and to let me know when he gets low, because he doesn't feel well when he misses them. At 14, he's also had plenty of talking with about illegal drugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-18654467425256595242013-11-06T15:31:44.947-06:002013-11-06T15:31:44.947-06:00Here here!!

The #1 most abused drug right now among teens and college students are pain killers, which are opiates... as in the same drug schedule class as Heroin. Drug awareness is a good thing and should be taught right from the beginning when the little one likes the taste of liquid Tylenol. (Which can kill him if he takes too much. It causes liver failure.) Blanket campaigns need to be changed to be more specific, or especially younger kids won't catch the correlation. perkidawn test bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336222583812073152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-69313319037476735592013-11-06T13:54:14.054-06:002013-11-06T13:54:14.054-06:00Oh boy!
