Summary: It is well-known that more and more teens are starting to interact with illegal substances such as alcohol and marijuana. But, recently more children and teens have been experimenting and have turned their attention to more substances around the house or even convenience stores close by. They are abusing their parent's prescription painkillers, energy drinks, and even household cleaning products. Students are using energy drinks without alcohol that still give them a buzz. "Kids are drinking it like water, and you can overdose on caffeine by taking three or four of caffeinated gel strips and kids are putting five or six in their mouths at once.
Critique: I think this is crazy and scary that this is what a lot of teenagers do to themselves. They don't realize what danger they are putting themselves into.
Impact: This is great for parents. It helps them become aware and to help keep their own kids away from this bad stuff and keep them safe. Also it helps them poor into their kids and help give them wisdom of choices they should make. It may even freak some teens into not doing this because all in all it could result in death.
