Question by Adrienne: Attention getter for teen drug abuse?
Doing a speech on Teen Drug Abuse need an attention getter for the class and can not come up with one. My thesis is the types, effects, and preventions.

Best answer:

Answer by DMTrippin
teen drug abuse has been on the rise over the past decade because drugs are awesome

Answer by D.D.
This would be very controversial, but get attention. IS THE MEDICAL MODEL OF DRUG USE DESENSATIZING AND ENCOURAGING THE WIDE SPREAD USE OF STREET DRUGS IN TEENS? Or some such thing.
Not only do real unethical and unscrupulous doctors give out way too many drugs, start drug clinics , write too many perscriptions, but they themselves are desensatized to the effects of drugs in medical school, since the only model they have and are completely dependant on is the Big Pharmaceutical companies for their entire business and profession.
Big Pharma sells drugs, that is all it is doing. Doctors rely entirely on prescriptions and write them all day long.
Hundreds of thousands of people die each year due to prescription drugs written by doctors.

Or Show a deformed fetus picture of a mother who took antidepressants while pregnant.
Or Do Teens copy the medical model in steet /prescription drug abuse?
Other ideas
anh-usa.org
mercola.com search ‘antdepressants’
List deaths and pictures in the morgue by synthetic MJ and other drugs, make a correlation with the hundreds of thousands of deaths each year by prescription drugs. just search
PICTURES are more effective conveying messages
Contrast healthy teens with drug abusers. Contrast the differences in a persons life if one were to walk away and avoid drugs, and if one gets hooked.
Talk video of teens in rehab and on the street.

Brainstorm with others for ideas.
Good idea! best wishes

Happy Holidays!

BTW It probably would be a great attention getter to just put ‘Drugs are Awesome’ as a header and then go from there.
