More kids than ever are abusing drugs they can find right in their own homes. The
National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that four million Americans, ages twelve and
older are using over-the-counter and prescription medicine for non-medical reasons. The
greatest increase is among 12 to 17 year olds. In this program, experts put forth three

these drugs are safe, and a "medicine mindset" in our culture, where kids see
adults around them taking medicine for every conceivable pain and sadness. But abuse of
these drugs is addictive and dangerous.
