GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS ABOUT TEENS

Teens Are Getting High On Their Parents' Painkilling Medications, Reports The Partnership For A Drug-Free America.

About one in five have abused a prescription painkiller to get high, and one in 11 has abused over-the-counter products, like cough medicine, the group said on its Web site ( www.drugfree.org ).

The good news: Fewer teenagers are using tobacco, alcohol and marijuana.  So parents, lock up those prescription meds and talk to your teens.
